Description
1862 Seated Half, MS67
Rich Copper-Pink Patina
1862 50C MS67 NGC. CAC. This 1862 Seated half dollar was
among the roughly quarter-million examples struck during the year,
in which the horrid Civil War raged throughout the North, East, and
South of the United States. Most gold and silver coins of any
denomination were squirreled away like good nuts for a hard winter;
few circulated. However this Superb Gem took its route to such
incredible preservation, today it ranks as one of the two finest
certified at NGC and PCGS combined. Both sides feature a complement
of rich copper-pink patina over surfaces that are uniformly
well-struck and free of all but the most minuscule contact marks.
Signs of die clashing appear in the right (facing) obverse field
under Liberty's elbow. A remarkable coin for the Seated half
specialist. Census: 2 in 67, 0 finer (3/13).From The Jim O'Neal Collection.(Registry values: N1)
