- 1872-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-4. Rarity-3. Medium-Small S. AU-58 (PCGS). Pretty reddish-apricot iridescence is a bit bolder on the obverse of this smartly impressed, near-fully lustrous example. The San Francisco Mint struck 580,000 half dollars in 1872, and most circulated until worn out or lost. Four die marriages were used for this issue, featuring four obverse and three reverse dies. WB-1 and WB-2 are easily distinguished by the style and placement of the mintmark, the S used for WB-3 and WB-4 is of the Medium-Small style and positioned much lower and to the right. In the WB-4 marriage, offered here, the Medium-Small S reverse is paired with an obverse that is lightly cracked through the top of Liberty's head. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS Population: 5; 18 finer (MS-66+ finest). PCGS# 6335. NGC ID: 24K9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
