Lot 957
1842-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Medium date (reverse of 1842). PCGS graded MS-64 Eliasberg. Well struck and delicately toned. Radiant luster dominates the both sides, while there is a light overlay of natural russet to silvery patina. A lustrous and well struck specimen from this famous estate with pleasing preservation. 1842 is a transitional year for the Seated Liberty Half, since both Small Letters (Reverse of 1839 to 1842) and Large Letters (Reverse of 1842 to 1852) varieties are known. Small Date and Medium Date variants also exist. For the 1842-O, the Medium Date is always paired with the Large Letters reverse. The strikes exceeds all our hopes for an O-mint issue and what surface marks there are seem virtually undetectable without the aid of a magnifying glass. Pop 4; none better (PCGS # 6242) .
Estimated Value $26,000 - 30,000.
Ex Eliasberg Collection.
