Lot 2094
1865-S Liberty Seated Half Dime. PCGS graded MS-63. A rare date in any grade, especially so in mint state. This particular coin has satiny gray luster on both sides and shows only a touch of sunset gold toning. Repunched on the date, with all the digits showing traces of doubling. We do note that both dies show multiple clash marks, and the obverse die has a thin curved die line which extends from the shield nearly to Liberty's knee. The reverse has a bisecting die crack from about 10:30 o'clock to 4 o'clock. Despite the clashing and crack, the coin is fairly sharp, especially so on Liberty. It appears that the periphery of the obverse was lapped, as the letters are thin as well as the dentils. PCGS has graded 5 this high, and importantly, just a single coin higher as MS-64.
Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500.
