Small Letters Reverse
1840 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. Small Letters (a.k.a. Reverse of 1839). MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Liberty Seated half dollars come into sharp focus on Rarities Night, highlighted by the Richard Jewell Collection. The present coin, from another source, will be a nice complement to that offering. Blended golden-gray and rose toning in the central areas deepens of sky blue and violet towards the rims, Boldly struck in all areas. A heavy check-mark-shaped die crack extends from Liberty's head through the Liberty Cap and through the rim above the ninth star. This identical obverse die is mentioned in Wiley-Bugert (1993), where it's noted: "less than 6 known to the authors." A important condition rarityat this lofty level as indicated by the PCGS Population statistics.
PCGS# 6234.
Provenance: From our (Stack's) Dalton Family Collection sale, December 1975, lot 499. Lot tag included.
PCGS Population: 5; 5 finer (MS-66 finest).
