Important Gem 1851-O Half Dollar

1851-O 50C MS65 NGC. The 1851-O half dollar was heavily minted for the era, with production of 402,000 pieces; it was also heavily circulated, though lesser Mint State examples are available for a price. The appearance of a Gem at auction, however, is an infrequent occurrence. This captivating coin offers soft, pleasing luster that filters through rich violet, rose-gold, and silver-blue patina. Crisply struck and pleasingly preserved. The certified populations at NGC and PCGS mirror each other, with three MS65 examples graded by each service and one coin finer (1/09).(Registry values: N4719)
