Lot Description

1848 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-10. Rarity-5. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Uniform, satiny luster blankets the surfaces of this impressive near-Gem. Swaths of gold and bronze iridescence accents the peripheries on both sides, while the centers are dominated by a brilliant, snowy-white complexion. The strike is incredibly sharp, leaving Liberty's portrait intricately sculpted across all elements. Conditionally scarce for this lower-mintage 1840s Half Dollar issue, the total delivery of which amounted to only 580,000 pieces. Just 6 coins have been certified finer by PCGS. PCGS Population: 7; 6 finer through MS-65. PCGS# 6260. NGC ID: 24HC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
