1856. PCGS graded Proof 65 PQ. CAC Approved. Generally, the mintages of proof coins issued before 1858, were not recorded at the time of production. Today, it is well known that all mintage totals were extremely small, and many of those have been lost or damaged over the years. Breen estimated only 30 to 40 examples of the 1856 Seated Liberty half dime were still extant in 1989. This sharply detailed Gem displays moderately reflective fields under reddish-gold, violet, and sea-blue patina displayed in a somewhat mottled fashion over both sides. A carefully preserved specimen. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 4434) . Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000. Categories: Seated Liberty Half Dimes
