1868-S Liberty Seated Half Dime. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. Beautiful champagne-gold and salmon pink peripheral iridescence frames brilliant centers on both sides of this satiny half dime. It is sharply struck throughout and very well preserved. Unlike in the East and Midwest, silver coins remained in circulation in the West during the Civil War and Reconstruction eras, and commercial use claimed much of the production from the San Francisco Mint during those years. This scarce Mint State 1868-S half dime from a mintage of 280,000 pieces likely survived purely as a matter of chance, to the delight of today's collectors. Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from Paramount's Grand Central Auction Sale, November 1980, lot 309; via Stack's. Lot tag included. PCGS# 4393. NGC ID: 234P.
