- 1865/1865 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-102, FS-301. Repunched Date. MS-64 (NGC). The date is dramatically repunched, especially on the 1 and 5, but also along the bases of the 86. The quality is incredible; in fact this is the finest known of the variety. The surfaces are toned in russet-gold and blue that spans the lustrous fields. A couple of patches of russet are found on the left wing of the eagle. Fully struck on Liberty, the stars and the eagle. Usual peripheral die cracks on the reverse in the legends. Close scrutiny finds raised die lines through Liberty's head and surrounding the eagle, minor edge crumbling on the upper obverse, and minor handling nicks from bag shipping. A scarce variety that is seldom offered in high grade, certainly not in Mint State. Legendary quality, excellent pedigree and rarity. PCGS# 413728. Provenance: From the Dick Osburn Collection. Purchased privately from Jim O'Donnell, and earlier from Christie's auction of November 1990. NGC Census: 1; none finer.
