FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION Among the top dozen FINEST graded at PCGS, the 1864 half dime is a rarity with a mintage of only 48,000. Wonderful lustrous silver-gray surfaces are generally free of any distracting marks. Nicely struck up with only a touch of weakness seen, which may have been, created, in part, by the heavily clashed dies. A splash of golden tan can be seen on the upper obverse. An attractive GEM that is in the condition census for the issue. While undersea vessels had been deployed previously in the war, it was the successful sinking of the 18-gun warship USS Housatonic by the Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley proved the efficacy of these innovative naval designs. However, she too was lost in the conflict and only recovered in 1995. PCGS 7, NGC 4. This coin has been off the market since the 2014 FUN auction, where it realized $3,525. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $4,000. Only five have ever graded higher at PCGS, two in MS66+ and three in MS67. A great type coin, Civil War piece, or Seated half dime for the date. Cert. Number 27931067 PCGS # 4384
