The 1860 proof half dime is the first proof of the Legend Obverse subtype, matching the circulation strike transition. Proof mintage increased as the Philadelphia Mint's proof coin program became more organized. The 1860 proof is a first-year type and carries the historical weight of the design change from Stars Obverse to Legend Obverse.
