The January 2013 Americana Sale

详细说明: 1842-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Medium Date, Large Letters (a.k.a. Reverse of 1842). WB-102, Die Pair WB-8. Rarity-3. Early Die State... There is a clear errant 8 below and between the 18, with just a part of what is likely the lower loop that appears as a smile standing on the dentils. The strike is bold throughout, with full definition on Liberty's head right down to her toes, with all the stars crisp to their centers. Sharp on the reverse too, with all the feathers and talons full and complete despite the usual light peripheral die cracks. Elegant toning of russet-gold with teal and crimson accents near the rims. Certainly high in the Condition Census for the entire date and mint, and a solid example for the specialist of the series. Close scrutiny of the surfaces finds little more than a couple of shallow nicks and scuffs that blend well into the surfaces and lustrous fields.
