- 1863-S Liberty Seated Half Dime. V-1, the only known dies. MS-63 (NGC). Satin to modestly semi-reflective surfaces are lightly toned around the peripheries in iridescent pinkish-apricot. Although the 100,000-coin mintage of the 1863-S half dime was generous by early San Francisco Mint standards, at the time there was no known numismatic interest in collecting such pieces. Indeed, those examples that survived circulation and escaped melting are almost all in circulated grades, many quite worn, if not also impaired. Mint State examples such as this are scarce, many of which may trace their provenance to several small hoards that surfaced after 1968 (per Breen, as related by Blythe, 1992). These hoards also included examples of the 1864-S and 1866-S. PCGS# 4383. NGC ID: 234D. Click here for certification details from NGC.
