1863-S H10C MS65 Certification #10532446, PCGS #4383

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

A blast white true Gem example of a very rare date. In the midst of the Civil War the U.S mint production was relatively low, and survival rate for the coins became extremely low over the years. San Francisco minted silver and gold issues dating from pre 1870 and Civil War eras are incredibly difficult to locate in Gem condition. This example is a blast white full luster Gem that's 100% fully struck. The coin has incredible eye appeal. PCGS has graded a mere 8 examples of this rare half dime MS65 in the past 24 years and only 1 example has ever been graded higher.
