Seated Half Dollars
1877 50C Closed Bud, WB-103, MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Type Two Reverse (Closed Bud). A mintage exceeding 8 million pieces was a "last hurrah" of sorts for the Philadelphia Mint's Seated half dollar production. Soon after, the focus shifted to silver dollars and no subsequent P-Mint Seated half production exceeded 200,000 pieces. Despite the huge mintage, the 1877 is a condition rarity in Premium Gem condition and seldom seen any finer. This Plus-graded MS66 coin coruscates with vibrant golden-lilac toning that deepens at the margins. A sharp strike attends all but Liberty's topmost hair details and the opposing right (facing) talon. A CAC endorsed example by virtue of the surface quality and eye appeal. Population: 8 in 66+, 2 finer. CAC: 13 in 66, 0 finer (4/17).
