Lot Description

1862-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar. WB-101 (WB-1). MS-64 (PCGS). Toned with a light lemon-yellow hue over lustrous surfaces. The strike is bold throughout, and the Large S on the reverse is clearly that of the previous and earliest style. Tied with a select group as the finest seen by PCGS save for a single MS-66 at the top of their <em>Population Report.</em> A few tiny nicks from handling and a shallow low area on the reverse left of HALF. Enticing quality which is seldom offered or found.
