Losbeschreibung

1849-O Liberty Seated Half Dime. MS-65 (NGC). Dusted with antique silver gray patina, this is a handsome and original example that will please even the most discerning collector. Well struck for a New Orleans Mint issue from the late 1840s, the focal devices are suitably bold. Satiny surfaces with an exceptionally smooth appearance throughout. A low mintage issue with 140,000 pieces produced, the 1849-O also suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation. With most survivors well worn, this marvelous Gem offers undeniable condition rarity for the advanced collector of Liberty Seated and/or New Orleans Mint coinage. NGC Census: 4; 2 finer (both MS-66). PCGS# 4344. NGC ID: 233E. Click here for certification details from NGC.
