Lot Description

1856-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-18. Rarity-4. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. A wonderfully original example with blended steel-blue and golden-apricot highlights on dominant mauve-gray patina. The toning is iridescent and allows ready appreciation of smooth, lustrous, frosty surfaces. With a respectable mintage of 2,658,000 coins and a number of Mint State examples known, the 1856-O is one of the more popular No Motto Liberty Seated half dollars for high grade type sets. Few Uncirculated survivors, however, are as Choice as this premium CAC-approved offering. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS# 6288. NGC ID: 24HP.
