50C 1857 PCGS MS65

BUCKEYE II COLLECTION. There is no question this stone GEM is totally original. Crisp, clean, and moderately lustrous surfaces have an even mix of “old time” moderate colors. This coin hasn’t been cleaned or retoned. Miss Liberty and the details are exceptionally struck. The eye appeal is pleasing for sure. PCGS 5, NGC 12.

As we all saw GEM Seated Halves came into their own at the recent Heritage auction. For several years we have said these are tremendously undervalued.The market is finally reacting. You can not buy true GEM MS Seated Halves at the sheets. Use common sense when buying-but do not be afraid of coins that seem to have premiums. the sheets have been incorrect for years! Just a note: according to the records we have access to, the last 1857 to appear in major public auction was back in 2002 (Superior) where the coin then sold for $4,600.00. Opportunity knocks loud here!
