Lot 2042
1837 Liberty Seated Half Dime. No stars, large date. NGC graded MS-65. This one boasts particularly nice toning which ranges from reddish gold for most of the obverse to royal blue at the rims, the reverse similar but more golden over luster at the centers, with deeper red and blue at the rims. Boldly struck and with nearly perfect surfaces, enough so to keep this one in full gem condition. First year of the new type, and stars were added early in the year 1838, keeping strong demand on the few gems that survive. NGC has graded 99 of these, with 58 higher of the date.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
