- 1839 Liberty Seated Half Dime. No Drapery. MS-67 (NGC). Brilliant superb surfaces are highly lustrous and sharply to fully struck on both sides. The half dimes of 1839 are the last of the series without drapery at Liberty's elbow, a feature added in 1840 by a revision of the Liberty Seated design. Robert Ball Hughes was paid $25 for die work in this time, leading some to suggest that he revised the motif. With a mintage of 1,069,150 pieces -- generous for the era -- the 1839 is among the more readily obtainable early date Liberty Seated half dimes. There are even a number of exceptional Superb Gems known, as here, although clearly they are rare in an absolute sense. With outstanding eye appeal to complement its extraordinary surface preservation, one would be hard pressed to improve upon the Larry H. Miller specimen. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 11; with a single MS-68 finer at this service. PCGS# 4319. NGC ID: 232S. Click here for certification details from NGC.
