Not Sold Description
1857 Half Dollar, Richly Toned MS65
An Early No Motto Type Coin
1857 50C MS65 NGC. With a sizeable (for the era) original
mintage of 1.9 million pieces, the 1857 is an understandably
plentiful coin in circulated grades. Mint State survivors, however,
are remarkably scarce. One of precious few survivors graded MS65 at
NGC and PCGS, this coin is richly toned in antique-copper,
cobalt-blue, lavender-gray, and golden-orange colors. The texture
is fully frosted, but the strike is a little blunt around the
obverse periphery and over the eagle's left (facing) leg on the
reverse. Some small and moderate abrasions are noted on Liberty's
portrait and in the right obverse field. Both major grading
services report 18 examples in MS65 with only five finer
(3/11).Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2003), lot 7157, where it realized $3,220.(Registry values: N2998)
