1857-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. Well struck with original silvery-grey toning on both sides. A Premium Quality coin for the grade. The 1857-O seated Liberty half dollar is a classic condition rarity. Its mintage of 818,000 pieces ranks it a bit below its New Orleans Mint contemporaries, but hardly low enough to hint at anything out of the ordinary. What's more, its relative availability in circulated condition continues right through the Extremely Fine grade level. High attrition rates in circulation in the bustling Antebellum South around the Mississippi River trade, no doubt saw to it that few examples have survived in About Uncirculated and Uncirculated grades. Pop 5; none better A truly marvelous example (PCGS # 6291) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
