- 1859 Liberty Seated Half Dime. MS-66 (PCGS). This wonderfully original example is toned in variegated colors that are boldest and most vivid around the peripheries. A smooth, satiny and sharply struck survivor from a mintage of 340,000 circulation strikes. Although not widely recognized as such by more generalized collectors, the Philadelphia Mint half dimes of 1859 (Legend Reverse and Transitional) and 1860 (Transitional) represent a distinct subtype in the wider Liberty Seated series. These issues feature an obverse with refinements attributed to Assistant Engraver Anthony C. Paquet and identifiable by, among other things, hollow-center stars and a larger liberty cap that is closer to the border. This conditionally scarce premium Gem is ideally suited for inclusion in an advanced type set or specialized collection of Liberty Seated coinage. PCGS# 4371. NGC ID: 233W. Provenance: From the Alexander Collection.
