Description du lot

1845-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-1, FS-303. Rarity-2. Doubled Date, Medium O. AU-58 (PCGS). This lovely example exhibits iridescent lilac, pale gold and salmon pink undertones as the otherwise pearl gray surfaces dip into a light. Sharply struck overall with plenty of frosty to semi-reflective luster remaining. WB-1 represents the only use of both the obverse and reverse dies for the 1845-O half dollar issue, the attribution easy to confirm due to bold repunching to all four digits in the date. This is a sharp early die state example with the repunching bold even on the digits 18. A popular variety with specialists, offered here in attractive near-Mint preservation. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 409886. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
