Shipwreck Effect, AU Details

1861-O 50C CSA Obverse--Shipwreck Effect--NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. Confederate States Issue. FS-401, formerly FS-007. Wiley-11a. Struck following the four Confederate States of America halves. Wiley-11 was struck prior to the CSA halves. Wiley-11a is distinguished by the absence of a tine from the peak of the second 1 in the date, combined with the presence of a die crack from the nose to 11 o'clock. This is an untoned stone-white example with extensive granularity on the surfaces from long term immersion in seawater. A wide planchet streak resides from just below ES to just below ER on the reverse. Well struck with slight wear and a few tiny abrasions on each side. Heritage-graded: shipwreck effect, AU Details. Comes with a wooden presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity.
