1829 H10C PR64 NGC. V-12, LM-13, R.7 as a proof. NGC h
<B>1829 H10C PR64 NGC.</B></I> V-12, LM-13, R.7 as a proof. NGC has certified 10 proof 1829 half dimes, none with an indication of Valentine number. A perusal of past auction appearances lists proof V-2, V-3, and V-7 examples in NGC and PCGS holders. No other proof V-12 examples were found. The present piece is identifiable by a backward S lintmark in front of the cap, and a second lintmark is adjacent to the lowest leaf pair. It was described as possibly unique as a V-12 proof in two different auctions, Heritage 8/96 and Bowers and Merena 8/99. Fully struck and nicely mirrored with light to medium aqua-blue and rose toning. Census: 6 in 64, 2 finer (10/06).<BR><I>Ex: Denver ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/96), lot 6901; Long Beach Connoisseur Collection (Bowers and Merena, 8/99), lot 78; Benson Collection, Part Two (Ira and Larry Goldberg, 2/02), lot 347.</B></I><BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
