Seated Half Dollars
1868-S 50C WB-101, Die Pair 6, R.3, MS67 PCGS. The 1868-S half dollar is highly underrated in Mint State and significantly rarer than one would expect for a mintage of 1.1 million coins. Like its quarter dollar counterpart, the 1868-S half dollar can be found occasionally in circulated grades, but the pursuit of Mint State coins more often than not results in significant frustration. PCGS lists only 19 Uncirculated coins in all grades, just three of which grade finer than MS64. This exceptional Superb Gem ranks as the single finest, not only at PCGS, but at NGC as well (11/16). Razor-sharp motifs are set aglow by frosty mint luster. Each side is practically brilliant with only the faintest hint of champagne color and occasional specks of amber. The surfaces live up to the grade and the eye appeal is downright captivating. A truly incredible example of this conditionally elusive San Francisco issue.
