Description du lot

1841-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101, Die Pair WB-6. Rarity-4. Large O. MS-64 (PCGS). This desirable example of one of the earlier New Orleans half dollars displays beautiful toning with delicate teal peripheral accents combined with lighter russet-gold in the fields. The centers are bright silver with a pale apricot patina. The strike is sharp save for a few of the obverse star centers and the left leg and claw of the eagle.The surfaces certainly approach the Gem grade as they are especially nice. Precious few Mint State examples survive from a mintage of 401,000 pieces. PCGS# 6237. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS Population: 14; 1 finer (Mint State-64+ finest).
