Losbeschreibung

1845-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101, Die Pair WB-9. Rarity-3. Large O. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. Produced in respectable numbers (2 million pieces), the 1845-O is a common Liberty Seated half from the 1840s, at least in the lower circulated grades. In EF and AU, however, the 1845-O is conditionally scarce, and even marginal Mint State survivors are considered rare. The offered near-Gem is richly toned. The obverse is extensively patinated with deep antique-copper and blue-gray overtones that yield to reddish-apricot highlights at direct angles. Sprays of the latter color dominate the reverse and there is an area of near-brilliance in the field above the eagle. The luster is fully frosted throughout and most vibrant on the reverse. A sharply struck and virtually distraction-free example that is difficult to improve upon in terms of technical quality. PCGS# 6249. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS Population: 8 in 64; 3 finer.
