Description
Edward VII 50 Cents 1908, KM12, MS65 PCGS. Although its diminutive mintage of 128,119 coins would suggest otherwise, the 1908 is one of the more available Edward VII 50 Cents in Mint State. Perhaps the relatively small emission caused people to save the 1908. This, however, does not mean that it is a common issue, and it is available only when compared to other Edward VII halves. In MS65 PCGS has certified a mere five examples, with two finer (7/09).Mottled lilac, blue, reddish-gold, and silver-gray patina embraces both sides of this well-preserved Gem. There are just a few nearly microscopic handling marks. The strike is almost full, and glittering satiny luster radiates from the fields. A marvelous representative.
