1856 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-1. Rarity-3. Spiked 1. MS-65 (NGC).
Sparkling and bright, with full mint brilliance undisturbed by any toning or patina what-so-ever. The strike is above average with typical minor bluntness on the right hand stars and the eagle's talon. A lustrous and pleasing half dollar, with a noticeable mint-made "spike" protruding to the right of the 1 in the date. This is one of the finest seen by NGC -- indeed a condition rarity at the Gem level.
PCGS# 6287. NGC ID: 24HN.
NGC Census: (all varieties of this date) 5; only 2 are finer (MS-66 finest).
