Lovely Near-Gem 1849 Half Dollar

1849 50C MS64 PCGS. A delightful piece, struck in the same year that the famed California Gold Rush would upset the tenuous balance between the value of gold and silver. This shining example has swirling luster and elements of golden patina in the obverse fields. Boldly defined, particularly on the reverse, with fewer marks than one might expect for the grade. Population: 10 in 64, 0 finer (4/07).(Registry values: N2998)
