1861 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-7. Rarity-3. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.

This thoroughly appealing Gem will appeal to collectors of high quality type coins and specialists in Liberty Seated half dollars. Brilliant and lustrous, the surfaces exhibit a billowy satin texture that is smooth for the assigned grade. A razor sharp strike and strong eye appeal round out an impressive list of attributes. While the 1861 is one of the most frequently encountered issues of the No Motto type in numismatic circles, premium quality Gems such as that offered here comprise a tiny percentage of the extant population. A lovely and significant piece that will certainly catch the eye of the astute bidder.
