Lot Description

1861-O 50c PCGS AU50 DLRC #: 1488979 // PCGS #: 6303 An interesting issue as it represents the last time during the Civil War that the US struck half dollars at the New Orleans mint before Louisiana seceded from the Union. The lustrous AU50 is sharp for the grade with ample luster. XF and higher examples of this date usually realize strong money at auction, when they do appear. * Category : Half Dollars * Series : Liberty Seated Half Dollars * Type : No motto * Years for Type : 1839-1866 * Strike : Business * Denomination : Half dollar * Mint Location : New Orleans * Designer : Christian Gobrecht * Composition : 90% silver; 10% copper * Weight : 12.44g * Edge Type : Reeded * Mintage : 2,532,633
