Losbeschreibung

1860-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar. WB-104. Type II Reverse. MS-60 (PCGS). OGH. This is the popular "Eagle Laying Egg" variety of the 1860-O seated Half dollar, so named because the O mintmark is very high and touches both the arrow feather and the branch stem. Mint State survivors of this variety are very rare and merit a Rarity-7+ ranking from Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert (<em>The Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars</em>, 1993). A satiny BU with mostly brilliant features, delicate reddish-apricot iridescence is confined to isolated areas at the denticles. Well struck on both sides, with no singularly distracting abrasions to report.
