This delightful near-Gem is highly lustrous with an intense satin to softly frosted finish on both sides. The surfaces are smooth in hand with pretty champagne-apricot iridescence adorning the peripheries. Boldly struck in most areas with abundant visual appeal. The 1860 Transitional half dime is a rarity of long-standing fame. Kevin Flynn in <em>The Authoritative Reference on Seated Liberty Half Dimes</em> makes a diplomatic assessment in his 2014 reference, acknowledging that the 1860 transitional issue was both distributed to Mint officials for evaluation at the time of striking and also sold to collectors at a premium. For many years collectors have enthusiastically embraced the issue, often including it as part of a complete set of regular issue Liberty Seated half dimes.
