Description
1859-O Half Dollar, MS66+
Vibrant Color and Luster
Only One Coin Finer
1859-O 50C WB-101, Die Pair 11, R.3, MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Half
dollar production at the New Orleans Mint continued apace in 1859,
with an output totaling 2.8 million coins. Mint State survivors are
generally available, usually in MS62-MS63 grades, but even those
coins are hardly common. The 1859-O is a formidable rarity in
high-end Premium Gem condition. This Plus-graded, CAC-endorsed
representative ranks as one of the finest obtainable examples.
Vibrant mint luster shines through iridescent sea-green,
powder-blue, lavender, and gold patina. This CAC-endorsed example
is strongly defined with softness limited to several obverse stars.
At this grade, this is a must-have Registry candidate. PCGS
Population (all varieties): 2 in 66+, 1 finer. CAC: 5 in 66, 0
finer (8/25).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 801367, Base PCGS# 6297)
Weight: 12.44 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
