1846 50C MS63 OGH PCGS CAC

This 1846 Liberty Seated Half Dollar, Type 2 No Motto Medium Date, is encapsulated in an OGH PCGS holder and exudes originality. It likely resided in a coin cabinet, resulting in its original iron-grey hue with iridescent undertones. The luster gracefully permeates the toning, elevating its already remarkable visual allure. Notably, the toning is intrinsic to the coin's character, not an aftereffect, and remains entirely authentic. The CAC endorsement corroborates this authenticity. This coin presents the timeless appearance of an old collection look. The survival estimate of this date is a mere 900. Half Dollars minted in 1846 exhibit two distinct date types: Medium Date and Tall Date. While the disparities between these variants are evident in direct comparison, distinguishing between them on an individual coin requires a reference. The most prominent contrasts include the elongated and slender "1" in the Tall Date variety, the distinct separation between the top ball and bottom loop of the "6," and noticeable differences in the shape of the "4" on each type. The PCGS population for this coin stands at just 8, with 9 in better condition. Meanwhile, the CAC population is recorded at 2, with 6 in superior states. No MS63 CAC has sold at auction, though a comparable MS64 PCGS CAC example sold last for $5,710 02/21 LE whilst a lower grade MS62 PCGS CAC sold for $1,400 04/23. Simply put this coin should be priced in between if it were a regular MS63 which would be $3,250. If we add in the OGH demand it should sell for more. We believe these are undervalued at MS63.
