WB-102. Die lines through LIB, above UNI and below HAL. Given one of the smallest mintages of these late date Seated Halves (4800 business strikes) it figures to be among the rarest of this group, but it is not. In fact it may be the most common in gem with PCGS having graded 13 in 67 with two finer and NGC chipping in with 11 more 67s and 1 68. The current coin is just a lovely, original specimen, nothing out of the ordinary. From a Heritage auction August 2004, lot 4139, ex-JFS collection.
