Description:: 1852-O 50C VF35 NGC. WB-101. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. The 1852-O is a very scarce issue, undoubtedly because of heavy circulation in the prewar South of the mere 144,000 pieces struck. Wiley-Bugert state this is: "The scarcest O-mint, excluding some of the early rare varieties." Even wear is seen over the devices, and the surfaces show distinctive gray-violet toning with lighter colored streaks seen across obverse and reverse. The only notable interruption in the surfaces is a thin planchet lamination on the left (facing) arm of Liberty; it resembles two parallel scratches but close examination shows a thin strip of metal above the surface of the coin.
