Owner Comments:


1865 H10C Half Dime,
Judd-420, Pollock-492
Rarity: High R.7, PR64 BN
Ex: Simpson.

Struck in copper with a reeded edge.

Obverse/Reverse:
Regular dies trial piece for the half dime of 1865.

Comment:
Like so many other dies trial pieces from this period it was probably made for sale to collectors. The issue is rare, however. USPatterns.com estimates that about six examples are extant.

The fields are brightly mirrored and serve to enhance the remaining cherry-red and blue-gray patina on each side. Well-struck throughout.

Provenance/Appearances:
From Bob Simpson Collection Heritage Feb 2021Signature Auction / Lot #3179
