Losbeschreibung

1861-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. State of Louisiana Issue. WB-08. Rarity-2. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. Softly frosted luster blends with warm pearl-gray and pale gold patina on both sides of this handsome piece. The 1861-O half dollar represents the final issue from New Orleans within the design type; the Mint was closed in 1861 owing to the Civil War. While it was re-opened in 1879, no half dollars were produced until the 1892-O Barber coinage. the 1861-O is particularly popular with collectors as it was struck under authority of three different governments: the United States, the state of Louisiana, and the Confederate States of America. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS# 6303. NGC ID: 24J8. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
