1867 H10C PR66 NGC. Ex: P. Kaufman. V-2. The Philadelphia Mint prepared only two sets of dies for Half Dime production in 1867, both of which were used to deliver business strikes and proofs. The placement of the date in the exergual area below Liberty's rock is the distinguishing feature between the two varieties. On the present Gem, the pendant on Liberty's gown lines up with the right side of the 6 in the date. The 1867 is one of the key issues in the Seated Half Dime series. The business strike mintage of 8,000 pieces is the lowest of any regular issue U.S. Half Dime, with the result that survivors of the 625-piece proof delivery are always in demand among specialists. This is a gorgeous, premium quality Gem with fully original toning that is virtually a trademark of the proof Seated coinage in the Kaufman Collection. Of course, this coin is also noteworthy for the sharply struck devices and smooth, shimmering surfaces that are evident on both sides. The otherwise antique-copper toning yields to a cornucopia of gold, crimson, and cobalt-blue undertones at direct angles. Certainly among the most attractive proof 1867 Half Dimes that we have ever offered, and probably worthy of similar ranking among all survivors of this key issue.
