Lot Description

1845-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-1, FS-303. Rarity-2. Repunched Date. No Drapery. AU-55 (PCGS). Brilliant apart from blushes of pale reddish-gold iridescence in isolated areas, this predominantly bright silver example retains plenty of lively mint luster on both sides. Striking detail remains virtually full in the absence of all but trivial handling. Close inspection with a loupe reveals not only bold repunching to all four digits in the date to confirm the WB-1 attribution, but also the No Drapery die state at Liberty's left elbow. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 409886. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
