- This is a remarkable condition rarity in an early date No Motto Liberty Seated half dollar. Vibrantly lustrous with a satiny texture, both sides are further enhanced by a mottled overlay of olive-copper, cobalt blue and apricot-gray patina. The strike is razor sharp from the rims to the centers. Plentiful enough in an absolute sense by 1840s half dollar standards, the 1849 is typically offered in worn condition. Mint State survivors are rare, the issue as a whole meriting a Rarity-5- rating in Uncirculated per Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert (1993). This is a particularly intriguing example, first and foremost because the Gem quality as confirmed by NGC places it at the apex of Condition Census for issue. What's more, it is a Mint State representative of an interesting Repunched Date variety that Wiley and Bugert rate as Rarity-7+ in Uncirculated grades. Sure to appeal to advanced type collectors and Liberty Seated half dollar specialists alike.
