Description du lot

1864-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-1. Rarity-2. Large S. VF-30 (PCGS). Silver gray surfaces reveal faint remnants of original luster as the coin rotates under a light. Lightly struck around the obverse periphery, although all major design elements on both sides are well outlined, the eagle retaining considerable sharpness throughout its plumage. WB-1 is the only Large S, Type I Reverse hub variety of the 1864-S half dollar, the issue scarce in an absolute sense with most of the 658,000 coins produced consumed by commercial use. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 572160. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
