About this coinHistory

The 1867 proof half dime shares the year with the 1867 Philadelphia circulation strike, which had the lowest mintage (8,000 coins) in the entire Seated Liberty half dime series. The proof is somewhat more available than the circulation strike and serves as the practical way to acquire an 1867 half dime in high grade for most collectors.
