Description

1856-S 50C AU50 PCGS. Wiley-Bugert call this issue both "very scarce in low grades and extremely difficult to find in XF or better," despite its mintage of 211,000 coins in antebellum San Francisco. This attractive silver-gold piece shows only a few light field abrasions, with a good strike and no mentionable impairments. The reverse adds a tinge of lilac into the color palette. Population: 7 in 50, 18 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N1793)
