Description
1868 Seated Half, A Condition Census Gem
1868 50C MS 65 NGC. In addition to its undeniable technical quality, this coin displays unsurpassable originality that should be of utmost importance to toning enthusiasts. Even lavender-gray patina blankets both sides with blushes of orange, electric-blue, crimson, and green iridescence about the denticles and devices. While the eagle's left (facing) leg feathers display trivial striking incompleteness, the balance of the features exhibit bold delineation. The top of Liberty's head and the star centrils are particularly conspicuous by their sharpness of definition. An unquestionable gem, the surfaces are devoid of detracting features and possessed of effulgent luster. Since NGC and PCGS combined report only three examples in MS 65 with a paltry two finer (1/01), the present specimen is clearly within the Condition Census for the issue.From the Christopher Young Collection.
