Lot Description

The best known and most recognizable of the Confederate States 1861-O half dollar issues, with a notable die crack from the rim to Liberty's nose denoting this obverse as the same one that struck the Confederate half dollars. Soft dove-gray color is seen on each side of this highly collectible mid-grade example. Some minor marks are seen on the obverse, but no other mentionable issues. A key issue in this grade, endlessly popular among Liberty Seated specialists and historically minded samplers.
