Description
Lustrous MS64 1849 Half Dollar
1849 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Despite a plentiful mintage, the 1849 is surprisingly elusive in XF and finer grades, presumably because of extensive melting by speculators. The bullion content of silver coins exceeded face value by late 1849, as bountiful California gold mines wreaked havoc with the nation's bimetallic monetary system. This is a lustrous and lightly toned Choice half that has minor obverse field marks and is well struck save for the eagle's left (facing) ankle. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 10 in 64, 1 finer (6/10).From The R.K. Banister Collection.(Registry values: N2998)
