1859 50C PCGS VF25 SEATED LIBERTY ~ MISSING STARS ERROR & PREMIUM QUALITY!

Description

Beautifully Toned, Under-graded, Unlisted Mint Error Piece!
1859 Seated Liberty Half Dollar
Grease-Filled Dies (Not on slab)
PCGS VF25 (?)
PCGS failed to note (or take note of) the mint error, causing them to completely miss the grade of this coin. And, we always like to offer you the PQ coin before having it re-graded, so here it is!
The well-struck central designs look choice XF. The surfaces are highly lustrous and have the moderate handling lines of an Choice XF-AU. Satiny mint bloom rolls over the flatly made peripheral parts of the devices, with only light actual wear spots on the highest tips of the design. This piece was struck from grease-filled dies, causing not only the flatness around the extremities of the design, but also the complete loss of the last three stars on the obverse; and the upper part of AMERICA on the reverse. Typically, a piece with such loss of detail would be eligible for a Mint Error designation. Perhaps someone didn't want to pay the extra fee to have it added to the slab.
And the surfaces are crusty and richly toned in olive green and tan hues, with gorgeous pastel iridescent toning dancing over the luster when tilted into the light. Absolutely gorgeous patina.
A very unusual and very cool, home run piece for the advanced collector who has everything else!
