Introducción de monedas
With the economic depression of 1837-42 finally concluded, mintages rose dramatically in 1843, and this issue is among the more plentiful dates of the 1840s. Mint State examples, while not truly common, are more available than for earlier Seated Liberty Half Dollar. Bill Bugert's die study book of Philadelphia Mint coins confirms an amazing 37 die marriages comprised of 18 obverses and 29 reverses. Two collars were identified, these having reed counts of 144 and 145, respectively. There are several minor varieties, but these have attracted little interest.Leer más
