	1841-O Baseball Die Crack	AU50	PCGS 54104249	WB-2R	Choice	$4750	New April 19! WB-2R Baseball Die Crack. Colorful Rim Toning. PCGS Plate Coin. This is the PCGS CoinFacts Plate Coin for this variety. The Baseball Die Crack variety is popular and easily recognizable with a pair of reverse arcing cracks which look like the stitching of a baseball. This example is an advanced die state, with near-terminal cracks at the base of (AM)ERICA. This is a white coin with colorful peripheral toning over lustrous surfaces. The surfaces have a fair number of lines. Rated R-5 (31-75 examples known) by Bugert.
	1842-O Medium Date	EF40	PCGS 58758620	WB-12	Choice	$495	New May 14! Great Color and Luster; Clean Surfaces. This coin was featured in our April 21st blog, "Almost CAC Quality" coins. This one has crusty gray dirt patina. There is an ancient, dull scratch thru the shield on the reverse and a few similar-era toned over scratches in the obverse field but the original antique patina more than makes up for these minor imperfections.
	1842-O Small Date, Rev 1839	AU50	PCGS 24475524		Choice	$6950	Tough Variety in a High Grade with Attractive Rim Toning. 1842-O Small Date half dollars with the 1839 reverse is a scarce and important Red Book variety for Seated Half Dollar die variety collectors. This well struck coin is darker toned with attractive blue and yellow-green rim toning. There are 3 PCGS AU50 examples with just 9 graded higher. Finding a CAC example at this high grade for this issue is easily a five figure coin.
	1847-O	MS65	PCGS 43723651	WB-2	Gem	$14750	Condition Census, Superb Gem Original, Steely Reflectance, New Orleans Collection. Final Consignor Price Reduction - The New Orleans Collection makes a splash with the release of one of the finest 47-O half dollars extant, with just a single MS65+ graded finer at PCGS. While the mintage of 2,584,000 was sizable for the era, Mint State survivors are unfrequently encountered with any Mint State example being an important rarity in MS64 or finer. Our WB-2 example excels under a bright light with steely reflective fields that are the epitome of undisturbed viewing. The luster is uniform on both sides and a further testament of the unquestionable originality. Though the GFRC images indicate darkly toned surfaces, bright light inspection is a completely different experience with light pastel rose and sky blues dominating the luster. Reverse presentation is similar with golden hues within the legend lettering. The strike is complete and the fields are pristine. This coin has all the hallmarks of a gem and is in the condition census. Advanced Liberty Seated half dollars collectors should take note as the PCGS price guide is $22,500 as reference. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder.
	1850	MS65+	PCGS 50073544	WB-4	Gem	$45000	Condition Census, Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Production of silver coinage began falling in 1850, as increasing supplies of gold caused an imbalance in the valuation of silver. Congress corrected the problem only with the Coinage Act of 1853, leaving the Mint to coin a decreasing supply of silver bullion in the intervening years. This low-mintage piece exhibits liberal copper and aqua patina, and the overall eye appeal merits the GFRC Gem designation. Ample luster imparts slight reflectivity to the surfaces. Stars are sharp, while the left claws remain separated, if faintly so. WB-4, with a tine to the upper left of 1. CAC has approved 28 coins total, with a single coin in MS65 (the present coin) and only one piece finer, at MS67. The CAC price guide value is $36,000 (CAC does not price plus grades), while the PCGS value at the MS65+ level is $60,000. Ex. GFRC, August 2023, at $53,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6264.
	1853 Arrows and Rays	AU50	PCGS 58758617		Choice	$795	New May 22! Crusty Original Grey Dirt Patina. This popular one year type coin has crusty gray dirt patina. There are few light ancient toned over scratches in the obverse fields visible with a 5x glass but the original antique patina trumps these minor imperfections. Interesting die crack from Liberty's base through the left arrow and thru the 1 of the date.
	1855/54 With Arrows	MS62	NGC 1727628003		Original	$2765	1855/854 Overdate, Frosty Original, Complete Strike, Very Scarce in Mint State, Emerald Collection. Consignor Price Reduction! - The 1855/854 overdate is a well known die variety with the final date punch over an previously dated 1854 die. The upper left loop of the 8 digit and the crossbar of the 4 remain visible and can be cherrypicked with a 10x loupe. Most enough seen in circulated grades and very scarce in Mint State consistent with the 1855 Philadelphia issue in general. The Emerald Collection is releasing this MS62 example with bold undertype digits and a complete strike. Both sides are also heavily clashed. White frosted surfaces exhibit granular radiance. A faint amount of chatter is noted in the fields consistent with the certified grade along with a probably dip precluding a Choice quality rating. Housed in new large font NGC holder with special Pioneer Boone Family Collection label. The variety attribution is listed as 1855/854 Arrows FS-501.
	1855-O Arrows	MS61	CACG 603233343		Choice	HOLD $1095	New May 2! Full Luster with an Appealing Crescent of Color; strict CACG grading.. This does not look like an ordinary MS61 coin. Booming luster on both sides. A crescent of blue and magenta toning on the obverse enhances the eye appeal. A few noticeable marks and handling lines on the right obverse field.
