Lot Description

Lightly toned in iridescent pewter-gray, frosty surfaces also reveal subtle powder blue and gold undertones as the coin dips into a light. A scarcer No Motto Liberty Seated half dollar from the 1840s, the 1845 has a limited mintage of 589,000 pieces. Circulated coins can be elusive in the numismatic market while Mint State survivors, as here, are nothing short of rare. PCGS Population: 3; 14 finer (MS-64+ finest). PCGS# 6248. NGC ID: 24H3.
