Description

1859-O 50C MS 62 NGC. With a sizeable original mintage of more than two million pieces, this O-mint issue is a favorite among circulated and advanced type collectors alike. Beautifully toned in champagne-orange and milky-lavender patina that yields to electric-blue highlights in isolated peripheral areas, this example has the look of a significantly higher grade. While the surfaces are also curiously smooth for the assigned grade, the subdued underlying surfaces seem to account for the MS 62 designation. Smartly impressed save for the top of Liberty's head and the surrounding stars, this coin would fit comfortably into any Mint State collection.
From the Christopher Young Collection.
