Lot 1260
1866 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. With motto. PCGS graded MS-63. Brilliant and deeply prooflike surfaces with radial luster. Liberty is frosty and stands out beautifully against the fields. Very light scuffs on the legs. A die crack connects stars 2-7. A light, chalky film rests on the reverse fields but does not detract from the overall pleasing eye appeal. A series of light cracks are seen at HALF DOL and continuing up to ERICA of AMERICA. The year 1866 was an important one for U.S. numismatics as the motto "In God We Trust" was incorporated into the Silver and Gold series of coinage. PCGS has graded 8 in MS-63 and 19 finer (PCGS # 6319) .
Estimated Value $900 - 1,000.
