The 1847 proof half dime is part of the rare early Seated Liberty proof group. The circulation strike production returned to normal levels in 1847 after the mysterious 1846 low, but proof production remained minimal. Surviving examples are rare and command strong pricing consistent with the broader pre-1858 proof category.
