SUNDMAN'S 1870 CARSON CITY HALF DOLLAR DIE EXHIBIT
As mentioned in last week's Numismatic Diary, David Sundman had a nice exhibit at last week's Whitman Baltimore Expo of his 1870-CC half dollar reverse die. There were some nice pictures of the exhibit in the April 2014 issue of The E-Gobrecht, the electronic publication of the Liberty Seated Collectors Club (LSCC). With permission, here are the images and accompanying text. Thanks!

LSCC members and guests at the March 2014 LSCC regional meeting in Balti-more were pleased when Littleton Coin Company President David Sundman displayed his extremely rare lightly cancelled half dollar die. Featured in last month’s E-Gobrecht, this die was used to mint the first half dollars at the Carson City Branch Mint and was identified as from die marriage WB-1, Reverse A for 1870-CC half dollars. David exhibited a wonderful display full of background information. Viewers marveled at the context. David stated it will be available at future shows.
David adds: I’ll be exhibiting the die non-competitively at the ANA in Chicago.
