Description
1885 Half Dollar, MS66
White-on-Black Cameo Contrast
1885 50C WB-101 MS66 PCGS. CAC. A Premium Gem circulation
strike, struck from fresh dies with fully prooflike mirroring in
the fields. The design elements are bold, and there are no
bothersome abrasions. Neither side shows mentionable toning. The
1885 Seated half dollar boasts a small mintage of 5,200 pieces.
Half dollar coinage during this period was in token quantities
only, as most of the Mint's silver bullion and other resources were
being absorbed by Morgan dollar production under the dictates of
the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. Nonetheless, half dollars struck in
1885 did not circulate to a meaningful extent, as many pieces were
retained by collectors and dealers because of the issue's low
mintage. This cameo-contrasted Premium Gem has been carefully
preserved for more than a century. Population: 5 in 66, 3 finer.
CAC: 2 in 66, 1 finer (5/16).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 572270, Base PCGS# 6367)
Weight: 12.50 grams
