Lot Description

1870-G Round 50 Cents. BG-1024. Rarity-4-. Liberty Head. MS-62 (PCGS). OGH. The fields illuminate in semi-prooflike sheen as this Uncirculated piece is held at indirect light angles. A small, as-made die crack appears from the coronet point to the rim as one of the defining characteristics of the die marriage, and although there are wispy abrasions on both sides, none of them present as extraordinarily distracting. Reddish-gold color over green-gold surfaces.
