Description

1857-S Half Dollar, AU55
A Conditionally Rare S-Mint

1857-S 50C AU55 NGC. Medium Mintmark. WB-102. Heavy circulation on the West Coast accounts for the scarcity of the 1857-S half in high grades, even though 158,000 pieces were struck. Only 16 pieces have been certified in higher grades. The surfaces are unquestionably original with light gray patina over each side and an accent of charcoal around the devices and within the recesses. Both obverse and reverse are sharply and evenly struck, and there are no mentionable abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
