The first specimen was lot 31815 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $79. The catalog description[1] noted, "Oscar I 1/2 Ore 1858, MS62 Red Brown NGC. A strong strike with some luster beneath the red and brown on the surface." In the reform of 1830, the sixth and third riksdalers were dropped for eighth, quarter and half riksdalers. The skilling, formerly 1/48 riksdaler, became 1/128 riksdaler and new one-sixth, one-third, half, two-thirds, one, two and four skilling issued in copper. The smallest silver denomination, the 1/32 riksdaler, was four skilling. In 1855, the skilling was dropped and 400 öre = 4 riksdaler riksmynt = 1 riksdaler species (the riksdaler species remained unchanged). In 1873, the riksdaler species was dropped and 100 öre = 1 krona (the krona, at 7.5 g, 0.800 fine silver, was slightly smaller than the old riksdaler riksmynt). This is a common date of a type struck 1856-58. An 1858/7 overdate is noted as scarce.
