Lot Description

1841-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar. WB-101, Bugert-4. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. Glorious toning of dusky-gray and rose to the centers, and framed in a rather bold ring of teal with russet-gold that induces a cameo effect for the central devices. The strike is average, sharp on the obverse while the reverse has a touch of softness on the left side of the eagle. Quite attractive for the toning and surface quality, with ample luster and iridescent toning to please the specialist. Identifiable by a minor reeding mark above the right wing top, another between (HA)LF. Scarce in mint state, especially so attractive.
