The 1842 proof half dime continues the sequence of minimal-mintage early Seated Liberty proofs. Production estimates place the coin in the single or low double digits, with surviving examples rare and held primarily in advanced collections. The proof shows the Stars Obverse With Drapery design in its full struck detail.
