- 1863-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-102, Die Pair WB-4. Rarity-3. Small Broken S. MS-64 (PCGS). A fully white coin that shows considerable luster and ample mint flash. The surfaces are appealing as are the devices, both holding up well to the scrutiny of a strong loupe. The strike is sharp. This is a condition rarity at this grade level, virtually unobtainable finer with only a single example so noted in the PCGS Population Report.WB-102 is the variety with the "Broken S" mintmark, so named for the missing upper curve of the S. This die was also used in 1864 to produce half dollars in San Francisco. PCGS# 6310. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS Population: 13; 1 finer (Mint State-65 finest).
