1856-S Seated Liberty Half dollar. PCGS graded AU-55 In special PCGS Ship of Gold holder which contains One Pinch of Gold Dust recovered from the S.S. Central America treasure.
Special PCGS number 802041.55/38277453.
Well struck and mostly untoned. The surfaces are attractive and free of any detracting marks, and virtually mint state quality for this date and mint. There are only a few examples of this issue that survive in Mint State, and about a dozen at this grade level, so this coin is a condition rarity and a highly collectible example. The only 1856-S Half Dollar graded at PCGS for the S.S. Central America Series. Estimated Value $2,500 - UP
Ex S.S. Central America, 2014 Recovery from Purser's Safe.


 
Realized $4,800
