<B>1860-O 50C MS64 PCGS.</B></I> WB-102, Weird Vertical Stripes. A popular issue from the New Orleans Mint on the eve of the outbreak of the Civil War, the 1860-O half dollars were produced to the extent of 1.29 million pieces. While the most common Wiley-Bugert variety of the issue is Low R.4, the authors estimate this variety in Mint State to be high R.7. Most of the vertical shield stripes were reengraved at bizarre angles, creating the variant. This piece offers wonderful mint luster with just a slight touch of field haze, but the appeal is enormous. Although accurate survival data are limited, most of the extant pieces we have been able to discover are in AU50 or lower grade, save for a single unheralded AU53 we auctioned a few years ago. Sit back and watch the bidding when <I>this </B></I>wonderful piece crosses the auction block! <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>)
