Seated Half Dollars
1877/6 50C FS-301 MS64 PCGS. CAC. This variety has what appear to be remnants of a previous 6 visible on the top surface of the final 7 in the date. Wiley and Bugert question this variety's status as an overdate, offering the argument that the extra raised metal was the result of debris on the 7 punch. Nonetheless, it is recognized as an overdate in both the Guide Book and the Cherrypickers' reference, and is therefore attributed by both of the leading certification services.
The obverse of this incredibly eye-appealing MS64 piece displays fully prooflike fields with peripheral sun-gold, russet, and ocean-blue toning. The reverse exhibits slightly more frosty luster with similar coloration. All design elements are boldly defined, and the overdate feature is clearly visible with a glass. Population: 2 in 64, 0 finer (10/16).
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2008), lot 1699; Harry Laibstain (12/2008); Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part III (Heritage, 5/2015), lot 98491.
