Lot Description

1844-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. A rare Mint State survivor of an early New Orleans Mint Seated Half Dollar issue that is typically offered with at least some degree of wear, this coin offers rich originality in the form of streaky olive-russet and pearl-gray toning. A few areas near the borders are markedly lighter with an "old-silver" sheen. Fully struck throughout, with no outwardly distracting abrasions.
