August 2011 Chicago ANA - Rarities Night

详细说明: 1842-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar. Medium Date, Medium Letters. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. Exceptional iridescent toning of rich aqua-blue and rose-red covers the obverse in an organized fashion while the reverse is more mottled with flecks of blue overlaying the fields of gray and gold. Lustrous fields beneath the hues which come alive under a light. All lettering and devices are reasonably sharp save for a hint of softness on the left talons of the eagle and a few of the uppermost stars. The engraver extended several vertical shield lines both above and below their intended locations. Surface quality is pleasing although there are two small clusters of field nicks on either side of the eagle's neck. High eye appeal overall and a desirable example for the numismatist. Date minutely high and slants slightly down to right, while the mintmark is high, left and rotated counter clockwise.
