Description
A copper striking of the Seated Liberty half dime design, J-1192 provides the base-metal comparison for the denomination's penultimate year. With just two varieties compared to sixteen in 1871, the 1872 half dime pattern program was dramatically curtailed, acknowledging the denomination's approaching legislative end. This copper half dime pattern stands as a quiet farewell to one of America's smallest and most charming coins.
