Lot 2071
1852-O Liberty Seated Half Dime. PCGS graded MS-64. Choice reddish gold toning on both sides with flashy luster beneath. Note how the left obverse stars are sharply struck, while the stars on the right show minor weakness at the extreme centers (partial radial lines), and similar on the reverse where the wreath is sharp save for a touch of weakness on the ribbon. Mintages dropped to 260,000 this year in New Orleans, and most of these were melted as they were worth more than face value at the time they were coined. PCGS has graded 5 this high, with just 3 higher.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
