1872-S WB-102 Seated Half, MS63
Bold, Brilliant Example

1872-S 50C MS63 NGC. WB-102, Die Pair 4, R.3+. Medium-small S Mintmark. The die pair is quickly identified by the unusually placed mintmark, positioned extremely low and to the right over the left serif of D in DOLLAR. A pair of diagnostic die cracks confirm the obverse -- one through Liberty's foot, the other from star 7 through Liberty's head and star 8 to the edge above the cap. A bold strike emphasizes the untoned, silver-white fields and devices, and sharp cartwheel luster flashes over both sides. A few light field lines do not detract from the Mint-fresh appeal.(Registry values: N1793) (NGC ID# 24K9, PCGS# 6335)

Weight: 12.44 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.

This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.
