Description

Magnificent 1849-O Seated Half

1849-O MS 65 NGC. This is one of the most spectacular and rarest coins in the entire sale. Magnificently original, the obverse has streaks of white mint frost intermingled with golden-violet and apple-green toning. The reverse shows hues of mottled russet, turquoise, silver-gray, and golden-violet full, original luster. The strike is sharp, but not full, with softness on a few stars. This is one of the most visually impressive coins that this cataloger has seen. There have been only two pieces certified in MS 65 by NGC and PCGS with none higher (1/99).
