1858 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-45. Rarity-3. Type II Reverse.

1858 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-45. Rarity-3. Type II Reverse. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Wonderfully original toning of the kind that we have come to expect from this discerning consignor. Dressed in rich sandy-mauve patina, both sides also exhibit intermingled olive-blue iridescence that gravitates toward the protected areas around and among the devices. The area at and around Liberty's head is a tad soft, not uncommon for the type, but elsewhere we note sharp to full striking detail. Half dollar coinage at Philadelphia remained high in 1858 as the Mint continued to pay aggressive prices for bullion to strike into subsidiary silver coins that were much needed in circulation. With 4,225,700 pieces produced for commerce, this is obviously one of the more readily obtainable No Motto Liberty Seated issues. It is seldom offered above MS-64, nonetheless, and with CAC approval this premium quality Gem is a rare find in today's market. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection.
