1861-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar. NGC SS Republic Shipwreck Effect (A) UNC details. Confederate States Issue. Historically significant in two respects (both as an SS Republic treasure salvage coin as well as a product of the New Orleans Mint under the occupation of the C.S.A.), this coin would fit quite nicely into a specialized collection on multiple levels. Moreover, the surfaces of this essentially Mint State example, though revealing isolated areas of roughness, are far superior to most survivors from the SS Republic.
