Lot 390
1849-O Liberty Seated Half Dime. PCGS graded AU-58. A scarce date in high grade, this one is especially close to mint state, and many would feel that it qualifies at that level. PCGS notes 3 graded as such, with just 7 graded higher (best MS-64). Deep blue and lilac toning on both sides, perfectly balanced. One small field tick near the third star on the inside. Unpriced in the Guide Book in Uncirculated, as so few are reported in or near that grade.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
Purchased by Dr. Benson on December 5, 1945 from an unknown source for $20.
