FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION This coin is the epitome of perfection! It is more than deserving of its lofty designation. This SUPERB GEM is tied for TOP POP! We examined this coin with a really strong glass and, as would be expected for this PRISTINE state of preservation, found not a single, microscopic flaw of any kind. There are some fine mint made die polishing lines but you really need to work hard to see them. A delicate layer of pale champagne toning evenly blankets both sides. The luster is decent. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is pleasing! Nearly one and a half million half dimes were struck, and as gold and silver coins were hoarded as soon as they came out of the mint, any coin that survives in SUPERB GEM Mint State must have been taken out of circulation and saved as soon as they came out of the mint, and forgotten about until they were no longer being used in circulation and kept as a family heirloom, treasured and carefully stored until it was certified. The Seven Days Battles in the summer of 1862 saw the use of relatively new transportation technologies in order to achieve strategic support for the Union armies. For the first time hot-air balloon pilots were deployed by the North as reconnaissance units before positioning their forces against the Confederacy in Virginia. PCGS 8, NGC 6, CAC 3. The last one to sell in auction brought $9,900 in February 2020. The current CAC CPG value is $11,900 and the PCGS Price Guide is $10,500. We always marvel how such a small coin could survive 158 years in such a remarkable state of preservation. This is a wonderful Civil War era relic that will carry on in one of the finest states of preservation possible. Cert. Number 50069965 PCGS # 4381
