Lot Description

1872 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-64 (PCGS). Scarce at this high grade level and seldom offered this nice. The obverse and reverse have satiny luster and show light russet toning around the rim. The surface quality is excellent and the wide open fields and devices show only a few minor nicks from bag handling when closely examined. Boldly struck and solid for the grade. PCGS# 6333. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the James Bennett Pryor Collection, January 1996, lot 211. Pryor acquired the coin from Bob Rossfield on December 27, 1973.
