Description du lot

1847 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-2. Rarity-3. Repunched Date. MS-62 (PCGS). Dominant pearl gray patina to the obverse, the reverse is more boldly toned in a blend of pewter gray and cobalt blue. Softly frosted in finish, this smooth-looking example would probably have secured a Choice Mint State grade were the luster a bit more lively. As with most 1840s Liberty Seated half dollar issues, the 1847 is seen most often in circulated grades. Uncirculated survivors, as here, are elusive and underrated by more casual collectors. A find for the astute bidder. PCGS Population: 6; 29 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 6257. NGC ID: 24HA. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
