1860 H10C Transitional MS64 PCGS. Judd-267. The "Transitional" half dimes of 1860 were produced as "trade bait" by Mint Director James Ross Snowden. It is generally accepted that 100 pieces were struck, all as business strikes, whereas the 1859 pieces are all proofs. What makes these coins distinctive is the lack of an issuing authority, leading collectors over the years to label these as a "Coin Without a Country." This is a lovely, lustrous example that has significant golden-rose patina over each side. Weakly struck, as usually seen, there are no objectionable marks on either side. Population: 14 in 64, 18 finer (10/03). Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
