$1500 		Low Mintage Philadelphia Date, Steely Reflective Luster, Rose-Blue Eye Appeal, Choice Original. The first year of miniscule small denomination Philadelphia mintages arrived in 1863. Half dime strikes amounted to only 18,000 pieces and are always scarce in today's market. A near-gem example with sharp steely luster and considerable bright light eye appeal. Surfaces are unquestionably original and easily transition from natural coin gray to pastel rose-blues angled lighting. Fields are entirely unabraded. The upper reverse wheat grains are weakly struck as is symptomatic for this issue. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. December 1969
