Watch List notes:

Lot of three USA half dollars seated Liberty encapsulated by NGC SS Republic Shipwreck Effect in promotional case, as follows: 1860-O, U.S. issue; 1861-O, Louisiana State issue; and 1861-O, Confederate States issue. KM-68. 10-1/2" x 7" x 2". Nice condition overall, the Confederate issue actually lustrous (also an early die state) and the Louisiana issue (struck after Louisiana seceded from the Union but before it joined the Confederacy) notably above average, a fairly good match all around although they were slabbed at different times (the promotional box intended for something else), still a popular assemblage for showing the progression from one issue to the next. Housed in hinged wooden promotional case with DVD. Recovered from: S.S. Republic, sunk in 1865 off Savannah, Georgia
($1250-2000)
