Description
1857-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-6. Rarity-3. Misplaced Date. MS-62 (PCGS).
The mispunched date is in the rock above, as well as a fragment of an additional serif of the 1 placed north. The tails of three 7s are visible and the base of the 5 in the rocky base and drapery above. Both sides are ice-white as issued, making the punching error even more visible. The strike is generally sharp with bold stars and folds on the obverse, a trace of softness on the talons as the New Orleans Mint didn't quite have enough pressure to bring these designs up entirely. A few other dies of this period have several trace repunchings up in the dress, and were likely accomplished by the same hand.
PCGS# 572103. BASE PCGS# 6291. NGC ID: 24HT.
From the Arlington Collection.
