1859 O SS Republic Shipwreck Effect NGC SS REPUBLIC No Book The year 1859 ended the U. S. Mint's run of very large date punches that began in 1853 and lasted through 1858. As with so many coin oddities, it will likely never be known why this abrupt change was made. This is a high-mintage, fairly common issue that does not elicit much excitement among collectors. Examples are readily available in all circulated grades, and Mint State survivors are only moderately scarce. Even at the gem level (MS-65 and higher) there are a fair number of certified specimens. Unlike the 1859(P) half dollar, this issue is known only with the Type 1 Reverse hub of 1842. A total of 16 die marriages have been identified, and these resulted from various pairings of 12 obverses and 13 reverses. All 1859-O half dollars display 140 reeds on their edges. A minor RPD variety is known (WB-104), along with a couple of MPD varieties. The more appealing of these is VP-001 (WB-102).

Customer Reviews

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
