1852 Liberty Seated Half Dime. V-3A. MS-66 (PCGS).Stellar premium Gem quality for this historic early date Liberty Seated half dime issue. Highly lustrous surfaces exhibit delicate champagne-gold iridescence to a softly frosted texture. Both sides are silky smooth and border on pristine, sharp striking detail further enhancing this coins tremendous appeal. Despite rising silver prices in the world market as the California Gold Rush continued to yield its rich bounty, enough bullion was deposited in the Philadelphia Mint in 1852 to achieve a generous half dime mintage of 1,000,500 coins. It is unlikely that many of these coins actually entered circulation at that time, for hoarding had already withdrawn much of the silver from commercial channels. While many 1851 half dimes were probably melted to provide bullion for the new tenor coinage authorized by the Act of February 21, 1853, many additional pieces survived to see circulation in later years for Q. David Bowers (2016) describes this issue as "readily available" in circulated grades. Mint State survivors are also plentiful by pre-1853 Liberty Seated half dime standards, although precious few are as expertly preserved and aesthetically pleasing as the Henry Collection specimen offered here. An exceptional example of the final Philadelphia Mint half dime issue produced to a weight standard of 1.34 grams.<p>Struck from a late state of the 1852 Valentine-3 die pairing, the obverse exhibits light cracks through the base of the date to the lower right border, through star 7 and the top of Libertys head, a branch crack extending to star 8, and form the border outside star 8 to the top of the liberty cap. Light clash marks are evident in the left obverse field along the portrait. The reverse exhibits the bold crack mentioned by Valentine that extends from the border at 4 oclock, through the letters RI in AMERICA, and along the outside of the wreath to the stem of the berry below the extreme left edge of the letter E in the same word.PCGS# 4349. NGC ID: 233K.PCGS Population: 14; 6 finer (MS-68 finest).From the Henry Collection of Liberty Seated Half Dimes.
