Choice $1725 Steely Reflective Fields, Light Golden-Gray Patina, Important Dick Osburn Pedigree, Sooner Collection. From the Sooner Collection arrives a choice 1849 WB-1 half with attractive light golden-gray toning over silver surfaces with a hint of blue in the fields. The strike is firm on Liberty's head, the stars and the eagle's claws, key visual inspection points. Under a bright light, the fields are quite steely with radiated reflective luster that is consistent on both sides. The in-hand rose-gray shades shift to golden-gray with darker hues at the borders. The certified grade is a function of light hairlines in the right obverse field seen with light and loupe. Dick Osburn Collection, August 2011 Chicago ANA Auction, lot 7033. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. The label documents the Dick Osburn Collection pedigree.
