1843 Liberty Seated Half Dime. MS-67 (NGC).A pristine and attractively toned specimen earlier from the legendary collection of Eugene H. Gardner. Traces of emerald and violet highlights the obverse borders, framing otherwise pearlescent silver surfaces. The reverse showcases a more vibrant complexion of saffron and sapphire iridescence that glows under a light source. Uniformly bold and attractive, exhibiting a thin die crack that bisects the entire reverse from 11 oclock to 6 oclock. This is the sole finest example certified by NGC and is suitable for another advanced collection of Liberty Seated coinage.Ex Jason Carter, January 2010; Eugene H.
