Seated Half Dollars
1887 50C MS67 PCGS. This later Seated half dollar issue had a low mintage of 5,000 circulation strikes, and survivors are rarely found at the Superb Gem level of preservation. In fact, PCGS has certified a mere five coins at MS67 and NGC three examples, with none seen any finer at either company (6/17). Intensely frosty with gorgeous, light original gold toning near the borders. The devices are crisply defined throughout, including the often-weak head of Liberty, as well as the eagle's talons and arrow fletchings. A more splendid example of the 1887 Seated half dollar is difficult to imagine.
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2008), lot 920; Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 1124.
