Premium Gem 1862 Seated Half
Semiprooflike Surfaces

1862 50C MS66 NGC. CAC. This Premium Gem is a simply remarkable example of this Civil War issue, and perhaps the finest one that this cataloger has ever seen. Current population reports show a total of eight coins graded at MS66, four apiece at NGC and PCGS. Two Superb Gems have been certified, both by NGC. This piece displays design elements that have all been sharply impressed, including Liberty's hair and the eagle's leg feathers, arrow fletchings, and talons. A semiprooflike sheen encompasses the silver-white fields, and the devices are mildly frosted. Surface marks are minimal, as expected for a coin at this lofty grade level. Census: 4 in 66, 2 finer (11/11).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24J9, PCGS# 6307, Greysheet# 6280)

Weight: 12.44 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
