- 1858 Seated Liberty Half Dollar. WB-105. MS-66 (PCGS). This is a very interesting variety, a loupe revealing that the digit 5 in the date has been recut over an inverted digit 1. Remnants of the underdigit are readily evident to the right of the digit 5. While the 1858-P as an issue is the most plentiful No Motto Seated Half in all grades, the WB-105 variety is elusive in Mint State and commands a Rarity-7+ ranking as Unc (per Wiley and Bugert, 1993).<br /> With intensely frosted luster and nary a distracting abrasion in evidence, of course, this premium-quality Gem is also a conditionally challenging survivor of the issue as a whole. Most peripheral areas are toned in lovely cobalt-blue and orange-russet iridescence, although the centers have retained their original mint brilliance. Well struck with razor-sharp definition to virtually all features, this already impressive example also reveals traces of modest semi reflectivity in the fields as the surfaces dip into a light. Sure to sell for a strong bid!
