harshly cleaned, rim has been spooned. looks like a medium date to me. what do you think? http://www.ngccoin.com/NGCCoinExplorer/CoinDetail.aspx?CoinID=516252 http://www.ngccoin.com/NGCCoinExplorer/CoinDetail.aspx?UCID=24H7
the crosslet on the 4 in the date appears to be connected, (not seperated) to the bottom serif of the 4, a trait of the medium date varieties.
It looks that way, yes... If you've the coin in-hand, you could always trying to nail down the WB if still unsure: http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/seated-half-dollars-1846-o/
thanks for the reply and the link. i don't have the coin in hand yet, it is part of a layaway order. based on the photos it looks like WB-102
