Lot 2049
1839-O Liberty Seated Half Dime. PCGS graded MS-63. An impressive example of this scarce early New Orleans date, the periphery shows medium to dark gold toning, with the centers remaining bright and silvery and accented by gold colors. Boldly struck on the obverse, with all the stars and drapery lines sharp, and the reverse as well, with sharp leaves and lettering, the only trace of weakness is on the bow knot. Identifiable by a tiny tick between F A in OF AMERICA and a faint scrape just left of the first S in STATES. Exceptional eye appeal for the grade and date. PCGS has graded 7 this high, with just 2 higher as MS-64 and 2 at the top as MS-65. An opportunity for the specialist.
Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500.
