Challenging Date Choice, Eye Appeal of Higher Grade, Sooner Collection. Astute Seated half dollar collectors will immediately recognize the importance of this 1856-S half dollar offering. This date, along with 1855-S and 1857-S strikes, circulated heavily during the rough western frontier era with most survivors having one or multiple issues. The Sooner Collection is releasing a choice example with eye appeal of a higher grade. Natural coin gray surfaces are nicely frame by copper-gold hues at the rims. Fields have scattered micro-ticks that one would expect for a silver coin of this era. A complete strike further adds to the overall charm. Offered at the PCGS price guide and worth every penny in the current hot Seated half dollar market. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2003) holder. December 1969
