<B>1847/6 50C --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details.</B></I> FS-301, formerly FS-004. WB-102. An exceedingly elusive <I>Guide Book</B></I> variant that appears only infrequently on the market; Heritage has offered this overdate only three times before. The lower curve of a 6 appears below the space between the 4 and the 7 in the date, and the base of an extraneous 4 appears to the left of the partial 6. In the <I>Cherrypickers' Guide</B></I>, Fivaz and Stanton put it simply: "This is a very popular variety!"<BR> This crisply struck example shows only light wear, though the silver-blue surfaces are suspiciously bright and show numerous wispy hairlines. Tan toning in the recesses of the date suggest the coin's original patina. Despite its impairment, this remains a highly desirable representative of one of the most prominent and popular Seated half dollar varieties.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
