Description
Select Quality 1869-S Half Dollar
1869-S 50C MS63 PCGS. This is a surprisingly scarce issue in Mint State grades. Most of the mintage went into circulation on the west coast, or was exported to the Orient. There were few collectors in California at the time, so few were saved near the time of issue. The surfaces of this example have satiny luster beneath grayish toning with splashes of olive and gold. Traces of greenish patina are visible on the obverse. Very few finer examples of this issue have been certified, therefore, this is an important opportunity for the advanced half dollar specialist. Population: 2 in 63, 5 finer (9/04).(#6326) (Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24JY, PCGS# 6326, GSID# 6356)
