Sparkling Gem Mint State 1850-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar PCGS Population 2/0 1850-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101, Die Pair WB-2. Rarity-3. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Full frosty mint brilliance welcomes the viewer when the coin is placed under a light. On the obverse, swaths of russet-gold toning are seen, some in microscopic flecks, others in a blended wash. The reverse is similar, although it also shows small yellow sunbursts of color in the fields. All the devices are sharply struck. The seemingly generous mintage of 2,456,000 pieces was generally hauled back to the melting pots as the value of silver increased early in this decade. For this reason far fewer of these survived than might have otherwise. This splendid example will be a prize for the collector fortunate enough to bring it home. PCGS# 6265. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS Population: 2; none finer.
