Description
1870-S Half Dollar, MS62
Scarce in Spite of Substantial Mintage
1870-S 50C MS62 PCGS. CAC. This is an attractive, original
example of the extremely scarce 1870-S half dollar. Despite a
mintage in excess of one million pieces, survivors are rare at all
grade levels. This piece does not match the diagnostics for either
WB-101 or WB-102, the only known Wiley-Bugert varieties. The
mintmark's position matches that of WB-102, but the upper curve of
the S is not weak or missing. A satiny, boldly struck piece with
light grayish-olive toning and essentially unabraded surfaces.
Population: 3 in 62, 5 finer (6/12).Ex: Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 1627.(Registry values: N1793)
