Lot 382
1846 Liberty Seated Half Dime. PCGS graded EF-40. An extremely rare date, only 27,000 were struck and few remain in high grades. In fact, PCGS has only graded 6 this high, with 10 graded higher (best MS-63). Beautiful deep gold and dark blue toning with silvery devices. Nicely struck, and a coin that will no doubt be fought over by experienced collectors.
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,300.
From the Benson collection and purchased from J. G. Macallister in a large group of half dimes on November 7, 1944 for $80.00.
