<B>1860<H10C> Transitional MS65 NGC.</B></I> Judd-267.The 1860 "Transitional" half dime is reportedly a creation of Mint Director James Ross Snowden. These were fantasy pieces created at a time when Snowden was interested in swapping such <I>pieces de caprice</B></I> for Washington medals and other coins missing from the Mint Collection of coins and medals. This creation is the so-called "Coin Without a Country" that marries the old With Stars obverse with the new reverse adopted in 1860. Thus, this combination produced a coin with no mention of the United States as the issuing authority. This is a brilliant example with swirling mint luster and striations in the fields that give the coin a semi-reflective appearance. Weakly struck over the devices on each side, the diagnostic die scratch to the left of the rock is obvious without magnification. Census: 14 in 65, 11 finer (9/06).
