- 1857-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-6. Rarity-3. Misplaced Date. MS-62 (NGC).
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. Attractive lustrous fields graced by iridescent blue and gold shades in the fields. 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.
Provenance: From the Steve Studer Collection. Earlier ex our sale of the Dick Osburn Collection, August 2011 Chicago ANA Auction, lot 7060.
PCGS# 6291. NGC ID: 24HT.
