TOUGH 1851-O HALF EAGLE
The 1851-O is similar in rarity to the 1846-O. Both of these dates are much tougher than most of the C+D half eagles of this era.
This coin has the luster and body of an EF45 to AU50 but it is softly struck at the upper obverse and the corresponding reverse. The surfaces are somewhat bright but lack the abrasions typical to this issue.
Only one PCGS EF40 has sold at auction since the beginning of 2007 and it brought $1,175 in Stacks Bowers' November 2012 sale.
Good value at current levels.
