Just got this back from PCGS. I was wondering if anyone knew the rarity or value of this? I see that PCGS has only graded 2 (this being one of them). Thank you!

Bill's book lists the WB-23 as an R-6, however I have three in my inventory ranging from PCGS VG08 to PCGS XF45 so I have a feeling that the rarity might be somewhat overstated. Although I seek out more difficult die marriages so my inventory might not be a good representation.

Beware of so-called rarity ratings on Seated coinage. Hoarding of better dates/mintmarks over the past forty years means that many supposed "rarities" really aren't. They are just hoarded until the hoarder dies and the heirs dump them on the market.
