Description
Magnificent 1888 Half Dollar, MS67
1888 50C MS67 PCGS. The low mintages of half dollars from the 1879-1890 era were occasioned by the implementation of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, which required mints to purchase vast sums of silver for coinage into Morgan dollars. This 1888 Superb Gem representative, from a mintage of 12,001 business strikes, displays pleasing luster exuding from satiny, untoned surfaces that reveal impeccable preservation. An impressive strike rounds out the eye appeal on this magnificent piece. Only the hair atop Liberty's head and the adjacent stars reveal minor softness. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (6/08). (Registry values: N1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24L3, PCGS# 6370, Greysheet# 6308)
