Seated Half Dollars
1884 50C Repunched Date, WB-102, MS67 PCGS. CAC. The 4 in the date is recut at its base. A popular issue with a small 4,400-coin mintage, the 1884 Seated half dollar is nonetheless usually available for a price. Contemporary collectors and dealers set aside Uncirculated examples of all low-mintage dates from the 1880s, with the result that even Gems are pursuable today. However, the present Superb Gem is conditionally rare, and only a couple of MS68 coins are numerically finer. This piece is boldly struck and boasts prooflike fields and unabraded surfaces. Each side shows characteristic olive-gold, lavender-gray and blue-green toning. Population: 8 in 67 (1 in 67+), 1 finer. CAC: 9 in 67, 2 finer (11/16).
