Lot 2076
1854-O Liberty Seated Half Dime. NGC graded MS-66 Pittman. An outstanding coin with an equally outstanding pedigree from the John J. Pittman collection. Blast white in color with a hint of toning on the obverse and just a trace of gold on the reverse. Pristine surfaces that are effectively free of contact marks. One of the finest graded, PCGS has seen none higher than MS-65, and NGC reports only 4 this high, with a single coin graded higher as MS-67 by that service. Several minor die cracks on the obverse, and one on the reverse. An important type coin, and far more difficult than other dates of the era.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
From David Aker's sale of the John Jay Pittman collection.
