Lot 2926
1856-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. A spectacular coin. Well struck and shimmering with luster. Natural hues of violet and blue grace the surfaces on both sides. Fully original with warm silvery radiance underneath the beautiful multicolor overlay. Pop 3; none finer.
Those who visit New Orleans, where this lovely half dollar was minted in 1856, will likely see the famous equestrian statue in Jackson Square. The monument is to Andrew Jackson, savior of New Orleans in the battle of for that city in 1815. The statue was erected in 1856. Is it possible there could be some 1856-O coinage buried underneath or in the "time capsule" within its base? Makes a person wonder.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500.
