1842 Seated Half Dollar PCGS MS65
Half Dollars 1842 Medium Date. PCGS graded Mint State 65. <b>One of a mere four specimens in this grade according to the most recent figures provided us by PCGS and NGC. This coin would make an immediate hit in any numismatic discussion group because of its snowy white frost and absence of toning. Bright as a Walker (that is, a Walking Liberty half dollar, a good comparison coin since they usually come out of a roll with this sort of blazing luster), bold and fresh, appealing to the critical eye. The date shows recutting on the 8, 4 and 2 where it is described in Breen as having several varieties (Breen-4761). Mintage this year was just shy of two million, but as everyone knows most of these circulated. Mint States are few and far between, gems rarer still, as shown by the grading numbers.
