Lot Description

1855/54 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-102, FS-301. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. Toned with a blush of dusky-gold and gray in a finely variegated pattern on the obverse, the color is a bit more blended on the reverse. The strike is blunt on the stars and lower portion of the eagle, common to this issue. On the overdate, the crossbar of the 4 appears as a thin line between the knob of the second 5 and the curve of that figure to the right. Overdates from this series are unusual, but blundered mispunched dates are not. One of the nicer examples certified and a fine selection for an advanced collection. PCGS# 6282. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS Population: 3; 2 finer (Mint State-66 finest) within the 1855/54 designation.
