Description
1899 Half Dollar, MS66+
Brilliant Obverse, Toned Reverse
1899 50C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. The obverse is mostly brilliant
with wispy heather toning on this sharply detailed Premium Gem.
Full mint luster on the reverse shines through lovely gold and
iridescent toning.Variety: The upper edge of the cap below the W in WE is indistinct, likely from die lapping. The reverse is perfect.
Population Data (7/14): PCGS reports seven MS66, two more including this piece in MS66+, and two MS67. NGC shows seven MS66 as its finest. CAC has approved three MS66 and two MS67.
Heritage Commentary: Despite a mintage of 5.5 million coins, the 1899 is a challenging issue in higher Mint State grades, partly due to the early 20th century preference for proof coins.
Provenance: Purchased from Bill Nagle (3/2011).(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24M6, PCGS# 6483, Greysheet# 6560)
Weight: 12.50 grams
