Lot Description

1859-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-65 * (NGC). Partial crescents of electric-blue and reddish-apricot toning adorn the peripheries and obviously explain the * designation from NGC for above-average eye appeal. Also solidly graded at the Gem level, both sides reveal hardly a distraction to fully impressed devices and richly frosted luster. A beautiful, conditionally rare survivor of this otherwise relatively obtainable New Orleans Mint issue.
