1842 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-12. Rarity-3. Medium Date, Medium Letters (a.k.a. Reverse of 1842). Triple Punched Date. MS-62 (NGC).This lustrous and satiny example exhibits iridescent reddish-apricot toning drifting over otherwise silver gray surfaces. Sharply defined in virtually all areas with uncommonly smooth surfaces for the assigned grade. The Medium Date variant of the 1842 is one of the more plentiful issues of its era, but as with all 1840s half dollars Mint State survivors such as this are scarce and underrated in todays market.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
