- 1856/56-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-14, VP-002. Rarity-2. Repunched Date. MS-65 (NGC). Breathtaking satin to softly frosted surfaces exhibit target-like toning in vivid cobalt blue, pinkish-rose and reddish-gold that is more pronounced on the obverse. Sharply struck throughout and wonderfully preserved, both the quality and eye appeal are far superior to what is typically seen in a New Orleans Mint Liberty Seated half dollar irrespective of date. With a respectable mintage of 2,658,000 coins and a number of Mint State examples known, the 1856-O is one of the more popular No Motto Liberty Seated half dollars for high grade type purposes. Gems such as this, however, are scarce when viewed in the wider context of the numismatic market, which fact confirms the significance of this offering for advanced collectors. WB-14 is among the more desirable die marriages of this issue, a loupe revealing bold repunching to the digits 56 in the date. NGC Census (all die varieties of the issue): 17; 4 finer (all MS-66). PCGS# 6288. NGC ID: 24HP. Click here for certification details from NGC.
