1844 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-13. Rarity-3. MS-63 (NGC).Wisps of iridescent cobalt blue and reddish-russet toning further enliven satin to modestly semi-reflective surfaces. Sharply struck and uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, this is one of the nicest examples of this underrated issue that we have handled in quite some time. While not a major rarity in Mint State for an 1840s half dollar, the 1844 is decidedly scarce at this level of preservation when viewed in the wider context of both the Liberty Seated series and U.S. numismatics as a whole. A find for the astute collector.
