Lot 376
1842 Liberty Seated Half Dime. MS-60+. Frosty and bright, we note the surfaces are full of luster and toned with deep blue and central red circles, while the periphery is light gold. The reverse has tawny-gold around the rims, while the centers are white. Crisply struck by the dies, and the reverse die is clearly shattered with multiple radial cracks present.
Estimated Value $125 - 150.
From the Benson collection and purchased from J. G. Macallister in a large group of half dimes on November 7, 1944 for $80.00.
