1856-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar (50c)

Frosty, brilliant-white surfaces give this 1856-O a remarkably fresh look for a New Orleans Seated half. The strike is sharp for the issue, with full sharp hair detail, crisp stars, and bold feathering on the eagle, while a hint of pale gold at the rims frames the devices. Cartwheel luster spins freely across both sides, and only a few light ticks in the open obverse fields cap the grade. Housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder, this example offers arms-length flash and eye appeal.
