Description
1879 Half Dollar, Semiprooflike MS66
Colorful Toning
1879 50C Closed Bud, WB-102, MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1879 was
the first low-mintage Philadelphia issue as a result of the
Bland-Allison Act, which demanded the coinage of millions of silver
dollars and nearly stopped half dollar and quarter production
during the 1880s. The 1879 half dollar's mintage of 4,800 pieces is
small, but enough high-grade examples survive that the date is
collectible in many grades today. This CAC-endorsed Premium Gem
displays a bold strike and modestly reflective fields. Sun-orange,
lavender, ocean-blue, and mint-green hues adorn each side.
Population: 49 in 66 (2 in 66+), 19 finer. CAC: 10 in 66, 14 finer
(5/16).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 572260, Base PCGS# 6361)
Weight: 12.50 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
