1839 No Drapery. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$900.00
|
- or nearly so. Exceptional deep iridescent blue and rose-gold toning over nicely preserved surfaces. Crisply struck with even the finest detail visible. A very attractive example of this type coin. |

1854 With Arrows. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$200.00
|
- and nearly warranting a Choice classification. Some trivial disturbance is evident at the obverse rim, otherwise this example is certainly fully Choice. Assertive satiny surfaces are highlighted by a blush of delicate olive-gold. |

1860 Brilliant Proof

BR PF |
$225.00
|
- or slightly better. Deep natural gray toning overlies flashing silver fields and precisely struck devices of outstanding visual quality. Mint records show 1,000 Proofs struck, 545 sold. The unsold balance presumably returned to the melting pot. |

1862 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$250.00
|
A lovely rose-gold and lemon-gold example that has great lustre. The strike is good but not full. There is extensive die clashing that can be seen on both sides. Nevertheless, a wonderful type coin. |

1864 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$1,700.00
|
A boldly struck and well defined specimen. The silvery white obverse is fully detailed with minimal evidence of die clashing. The satiny reverse reveals some softness at the upper left. |
|
|
| 785 |
1867 Very Choice Brilliant Proof
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$750.00
|
Flashing silver contrasts with broad dashes of pale violet and pearl gray toning for bold effect. One of 625 Proofs, part of a date that includes a very abbreviated business strike mintage, increasing collector pressure on the Proofs. |
|

| 786 |
1867 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$1,300.00
|
Delightfully mark-free though showing multiple die clash, this blue and rose-toned prooflike early strike offers exceptional visual quality. One of 8,000 business strikes produced, a low-mintage date always in demand. |

| 787 |
1870 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$200.00
|
Pleasing frosty silver is essentially toning-free; devices and lettering are attractively sharp and full for bold visual attraction. NGC MS63. |
|
|
| 788 |
1873 Choice Brilliant Proof
|
CH BR PF |
$600.00
|
Glass-like fields that are well contrasted by frosted devices give this coin great eye appeal. Some light hairlines are present. |
|

| 789 |
1873 Brilliant Proof
|
BR PF |
$325.00
|
- on the cusp of Choice. Another. A vivid strike is seen in the minute details of Liberty's drapery and face. Pearly gray joins diffused rose to give fascinating color to this example of the final date of Half Dime coinage. |
|
|
| 790 |
1873 Brilliant Proof
|
BR PF |
$550.00
|
- approaching Choice. A third. Rich blue-gray is encircled in bright silver on the raised rims, two hairline scratches can be searched out in the toning on Liberty's form. |
