详细说明

1844 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-4. Rarity-3. Misplaced Date. MS-63 (NGC). CAC. OH. Splashed with pretty iridescent golden-apricot toning, this handsome piece also exhibits a blush of powder blue along the right obverse border. Fully lustrous with an overall sharp strike. While not a major rarity in Mint State for an 1840s half dollar, the 1844 is decidedly scarce at this level of preservation when viewed in the wider context of both the Liberty Seated series and U.S. numismatics as a whole. A loupe reveals two overlapping loops of errant 8s in the denticles below the right side of the primary digit 8 in the date, an arcing line through the denticles outside the letters UNIT in UNITED on the reverse further confirming the WB-4 attribution. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. NGC Census: 11; 8 finer (MS-65 * finest). PCGS# 6245. NGC ID: 24GZ. Click here for certification details from NGC.
