Seated Half Dollars
1840 50C Small Letters, Repunched Date, FS-302, WB-104, MS65 PCGS. The undertype 1 and 8 are visible slightly to the left of the primary digits and a secondary 0 is easily seen above the final numeral on this popular repunched date. The reverse features the Small Letters of 1839. The WB-104 is an underrated issue in most price guides because of its unacknowledged appeal as a Small Letters type coin.
The present coin is an impressive Gem, with sharply detailed design elements throughout. The well-preserved surfaces are blanketed in attractive shades of lavender-gray toning and show minimal signs of contact. Satiny original mint luster shines through the toning. Population: 8 in 65, 6 finer (4/17).
