Lot 1011
1846-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Medium date. AU-58. Virtually no drapery under Liberty's left arm, just the outer fold remains detached from arm and knee. The obverse has been severely lapped down, removing all details from Liberty's foot, and weakening the stars and other devices. Similar on the reverse, the leaves and some of the lettering are fat and without the normal details and crispness normally encountered on high grade coins. Curiously, the obverse fields show some prooflike surface, where they must have been repolished after lapping to remove the file marks. Clean surfaces for the grade, and toned a light golden color.
