Lot 1033
1855-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Sharpness of EF-40 but whizzed. As still seen occasionally, this coin was whizzed, a process which strips the coin of all toning and moves the metal around a bit to simulate luster. Thus the fields and devices have the same satiny quality. The only way to make this coin look more natural is to carry it as a pocket piece for some time, then allowing it to retone.
