1856 Liberty Seated Half Dime. MS-66 (PCGS). Phenomenal bulls eye toning in reddish-gold, olive-gold, cobalt blue and champagne-pink adorns both sides of this exquisite Gem, with the reverse a bit more vivid than the obverse. Satin to softly frosted surfaces are sharply struck over most design elements an quite nice for the assigned grade. Enough of the lighter weight half dimes, dimes, quarters and half dollars had been produced by the end of 1855 that the identifying arrows at the date were no longer deemed necessary and were removed beginning in 1856. The large scale minting of half dimes continued that year, however, with 4,880,000 circulation strikes produced at the Philadelphia Mint. It appears that this larger output was sometimes accomplished at the expense of quality. As is typical for many half dime issues from the mid to late 1850s, the 1856 is prone to weakness, most obvious at the denticles, which are often so weak they almost appear to be missing. This feature is evident on both sides of the Pogue specimen, adding historical interest to a coin produced at a time when the Mint was far more concerned with quantity than quality. Most 1856 half dimes grade no finer than Choice Mint State and are quite often lacking in eye appeal. The <em>PCGS CoinFacts</em> website suggests that while there are some 400 Uncirculated examples extant, at most 25 or so grade at or above the MS-65 level. Exceptionally appealing specimens are few and far between in todays market, and the present Gem sure to attract significant attention from discerning specialists.
