The 1846 proof half dime is particularly significant because the year is also the major circulation strike key date. While the business strike production of 27,000 coins makes the circulation 1846 a key rarity, the proof is even rarer, with a population estimated in the single digits. Either version of the 1846 half dime is a major acquisition, and the proof combines extreme rarity with the coin's already famous date.
