1858 50C MS65 PCGS CAC

The 1858 Liberty Seated Half Dollar with Type One Reverse is a visually striking example of this short-lived reverse design, and this Gem Mint State specimen graded by PCGS and approved by CAC stands out for its exceptional preservation and vivid natural color. The coloration is especially impressive, with deep plum-mauve and aquamarine hues blending into cobalt-blue and warm orange-gold highlights that frame the devices and accentuate the contours of the design. Mint State survivors are scarce and Gem examples are rarely encountered with this level of originality and eye appeal. Population data confirms its elite status with a PCGS population of 16 in MS65 with 7 finer, while CAC reports just 7 approved examples with only 2 finer, and the PCGS Price Guide lists $6,250 with the CAC Price Guide at $6,000, making this beautifully toned Gem an impressive addition to an advanced Seated Liberty collection. This exact example was last offered 13 years ago where it realized then $5,875, and since then we have seen nothing of similar look or toning having been sold, and can see this sell for substantially higher.
