Lot Description

1859 Seated Liberty Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. A scarce date in mint state, and the present piece is particularly handsome for the gunmetal-gray toning with blue accents surrounding the devices. The strike is sharp on the skirt lines and stars, and the surfaces nicer than one would expect for the grade assigned. Minor die clashing in the right obverse field.
