Lot 1235
1851 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-61 PQ. Well struck and predominantly white with sporadic splashes of golden hues. The 18 in the date are recut and this is classified as WB-102 by R.Wiley and B. Bugert. The surfaces are frosty and with only the lightest of hairlines. Light magenta toning is found on the obverse and reverse peripheries. The 1851 half dollar is scarce in all grades and rarely comes finer than MS63. Currently this issue is quite undervalued and even the astute collector would be hard-pressed to find another example as pleasing as the one being offered. PCGS has graded 1 in MS-61 with only 15 finer. In an old green holder.
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300.
The Michael M. Magdic Collection.
