Splendid 1877-S Half Dollar, Superb Gem
1877-S 50C MS67 NGC. Type Two Reverse. There are few comparisons more stark in U.S. numismatics than between the 1877-S and 1878-S half dollars. The former was produced to the extent of more than 5.3 million pieces and is fortunately found in grades up to the Superb Gem level, while the latter is a great rarity, of which only 12,000 coins were made. This splendid '77-S boasts full, satiny luster on both sides, with pinkish-gray and olive surfaces that are well struck and essentially devoid of distractions. The piece is boldly struck, like most examples of the issue. One of the few finest certified.
