1856-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-9, FS-301. Rarity-2. Early Die State. Repunched Date. MS-64 (PCGS). A bright and lustrous specimen with satiny surfaces and pale golden highlights on both sides. With a 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. Choice examples can be scarce and this is a significant offering for advanced collectors. For the WB-9 variety, offered here, the date was first punched in at an angle that ran upward from the left to right. It was then partially effaced and repunched in a more horizontal position, the end result being that repunching shows at the under side of the serif and base of the digit 1, and broadly so at the tops of the digits 5 and 6. Provenance: From the Steve Studer Collection. Earlier ex our (American Numismatic Rarities') Pevehouse & Davis Collections sale, October 2004, lot 395. PCGS# 6288. NGC ID: 24HP.
