Description
1861 Seated Half, Rim-Toned MS66+
Tied for Finest at PCGS
1861 50C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Beautiful satiny mint luster
complements surfaces that are silver-white in the center before
ceding to soft, pastel lilac, lavender, and ice-blue near the rims
on each side. The strike is quite well-impressed, showing bold to
full centers on each side and good definition on Liberty's gown
lines, head, face, and the rock as well as all reverse details. A
pair of reeding marks show on Liberty's lower right leg but are not
overt. A subtle peripheral die crack on the reverse connects a pair
of olive leaves and the bottoms of HALF DOL. Despite the large
mintage for the 1861 half dollars exceeding 2.8 million coins,
examples in Gem or Premium Gem grades are quite elusive. PCGS shows
21 in MS65 (one MS65+) and 16 MS66, with this piece being one of
two in MS66+ and none finer (2/15).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24J7, PCGS# 6302, GSID# 6279)
