Seated Half Dollars
1842 50C Medium Date, Large Letters, WB-104, MS65 PCGS. There are three known Medium Date, Large Letters die pairings and they are not differentiated by die pairs (yet). However, these three die pairs commonly show "die cracks and die file lines" according to the 1993 Wiley-Bugert reference. This particular half shows a die crack that shoots to the left and upward from the 1 in the date, past the rock base and into the rim beyond. The surfaces are richly toned with strong underlying mint luster. Sharply struck throughout. Population: 3 in 65, 1 finer (10/16).
