DANISH WEST INDIES. Danish West Indies - United States. 50 Cents, ND (1850). Frederik VII. PCGS AU-58.
KM-27; Somod-Fig. 27; H-24. Authorized by local decree June 1850 by Governor Peder Hasen. Incuse crowned script FR VII monogram on an 1850 USA Seated Half Dollar. The countermark is deeply impressed and well-defined on a nicely preserved host that displays lovely old cabinet patina with an iridescent sheen that pops out when rotated in the light. An EXTREMELY RARE type with only about 6 known examples of the host date with less than 20 known examples for all documented dates (1848, 1849 and 1850). A beautiful representative of this seldom encountered type that is sure to see spirited bidding from many collectors. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
