<B>1859-S 50C MS65 NGC.</B></I> In the early days of the San Francisco Mint, gold coinage was the chief priority, with minor silver a comparative afterthought. By 1859, the Old West establishment turned out more than half a million pieces, but the vast majority of these went into circulation almost immediately, and while even lightly circulated pieces are comparatively affordable on the open market, Select Mint State and better representatives are elusive.<BR> The Gem exemplar in the present lot offers remarkable quality. Both sides exhibit soft, satiny luster beneath a blend of slightly cloudy silver-gray, tan, and light blue patina. The overall definition is sharp, though the uppermost two obverse stars show a hint of softness, and the surfaces are beautifully preserved. A magnificent survivor from this evocative issue. Census: 2 in 65, 2 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
