- 1846 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-13. Rarity-3. Tall Date. Spiked 4. MS-63 (PCGS). Peripheral toning in vivid cobalt blue and reddish-apricot iridescence is bolder and more extensive on the obverse of this lovely example. Both sides are universally sharp in striking detail with a full endowment of satiny mint luster. The Tall Date is the scarcer Guide Bookvariety of the 1846 half dollar issue, and even high grade circulated survivors in EF and AU can be difficult to obtain in today's market. The present offering is for a rare Choice Mint State coin, one that would serve as a highlight in another advanced half dollar collection. Close inspection with a loupe reveals a sharp wedge-shaped die defect through the serif of the digit 4 in the date, which features gives this particular die variety its Spiked 4 nickname. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier from Superior's H.W. Blevins Estate and George Bodway Collections Sale, June 1988, lot 5853. PCGS Population: 12; 8 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 6252. NGC ID: 24H7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
