1848 50C MS65 PCGS CAC - Tied For Finest. CAC 2/0. PCGS 5/0. The 1848 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, WB-102 Repunched Date( R.4) certified MS65 by PCGS and approved by CAC, is a conditionally extraordinary Gem and one of the premier survivors of this elusive pre-Civil War issue. A scarcer date in all Mint State, this coin is genuinely rare at the GEM MS65 level. Both obverse and reverse are adorned in rich, original forest-green, lilac-gray, champagne-tan, and soft silver patina that swirls gracefully over satiny, carefully preserved surfaces, producing exceptional depth and sophisticated eye appeal. Struck in the pivotal year that saw the beginning of the California Gold Rush, this 1848 half dollar carries added historical resonance as an issue from a transformative period in the nation’s precious-metal economy. From a mintage of 580,000 pieces and an estimated survival of only 600 examples across all grades, none are certified finer than MS65, where this coin is tied for finest known with just four other PCGS examples. CAC populations are even tighter, with just two approved at this level and none finer, amplifying its importance for the highest-end quality-conscious collector. The last CAC-approved example realized was 5 years ago for $15,275 04/21 P LGND, while current guide levels stand at $20,000 in the PCGS Price Guide and $17,500 in the CAC Guide. Even in lower grade MS64 PCGS CAC the last sale was for $7,500 11/22 SB. With this coins' blend of top-pop status, important variety attribution, rich original color, and exceptional preservation, this magnificent piece is fully worthy of placement in a world-class Seated Liberty cabinet.
