Important 1866-S Motto Half Dollar, MS64 PCGS

1866-S 50C Motto MS64 PCGS. Almost a million S-mint Halves were produced in 1866, even though the dies did not reach the west coast until May of that year. The need for small denomination was still strong, as it had been since the late 1840s, and most of the mintage was heavily circulated with very few examples known today in Mint State. Only seven other pieces have been so graded by PCGS with three finer (9/04). This is a very sharply struck example that is satiny with mostly brilliant surfaces that have a couple of splashes of golden color around the head of Liberty. An important Half Dollar for the specialist.(#6320) (Registry values: N2998)
