- The strike is sharp and the surfaces are pristine on both sides of this incredible Liberty Seated half dime. Toned with a handsome array of rose-gold to russet, with an intense frame of blue around the borders with the colors becoming dazzling when examined under a light. This is one of the finest certified survivors from a mintage of 800 Proofs, which total proved overly generous in light of the Mint's then only recent attempts to market Proof coinage to collectors on a wider scale. Most 1859 half dimes produced in this format remained unsold, the Mint disposing of those coins in later year by placing them into circulation. Scarce in an absolute sense relative to the mintage, the Proof 1859 is exceedingly rare with the quality and eye appeal offered in the present specimen.
