Description
1888 Half Dollar, MS67
Low Mintage, Rich Border Toning
1888 50C WB-101 MS67 CACG. The 1888 was the tenth
consecutive low-mintage half dollar issue, since the Philadelphia
Mint was obligated to strike many millions of Morgan dollars to
coin silver purchased via the Bland-Allison act. The 1888 half
dollar has a mintage of 12,001 pieces, excluding proofs.
Philadelphia dealers set aside examples, and the issue is almost as
available in Mint State as in circulated grades. But Superb Gems
are rare, and none are certified by either NGC or PCGS as MS68 or
finer (12/25). The present lot is a gorgeous coin featuring dynamic
cartwheel luster and splendid forest-green and tan-brown border
toning. Marks are essentially absent. The strike shows
incompleteness on the upper stars and IN GOD, likely due to
slightly out-of-parallel dies.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 572273, Base PCGS# 6370)
Weight: 12.50 grams
