HALF DIME
Introducción de monedas
This was one of the larger mintages in the half dime series, and examples are common across all grades through MS 64. When both the Treasury and banks suspended specie payment as a result of the Civil War, many of these coins were hoarded for their intrinsic value and were thus spared from wear. The so-called 1861/0 half dime is fairly common and is now thought to be simply the result of a defective date punch.Leer más
