Description du lot

1872-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101, Die Pair WB-7. Rarity-4. AU-55 (NGC). A semi-key date in the series, the 1872-CC has an original mintage of 257,000 pieces. Although Wiley and Bugert (1993) claim that "most 1872-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollars we have seen have been somewhat softly struck," this coin has a better strike than that seen on many other examples of the date we have handled in recent memory. Light silver-gray patina is present, but does not inhibit the flash of the remaining underlying luster. One of the finer known examples of the date at NGC and worthy of serious consideration. PCGS# 6334. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. NGC Census: 4 in 55; 5 finer (MS-62 the finest).
