Gorgeous Gem 1859-O Seated Half Dollar

1859-O 50C MS65 NGC. Purple-rose centers turn to gold and blue iridescent toning at the rims on this gorgeous Gem example. Surface marks are seemingly nonexistent under the swirls of deep color. As sharply struck as many proofs, save for partial weakness on obverse stars 12 and 13. A conditionally rare issue, despite its high original mintage of over 2.83 million coins. Census: 10 in 65, 4 finer (3/09).
From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
