Description
1870-S Half Dollar, Resplendent MS65
Dramatic Quality, None Graded Finer
1870-S 50C MS65 PCGS. Gold CAC. WB-101, Die Pair 1, R.3.
Struck from an early state of the dies with strong drapery
definition beneath the elbow and excellent overall sharpness. The
surfaces are pristine and show no significant abrasions anywhere on
the lustrous fields or devices. Champagne-gold toning and
iridescent orange and violet highlights add considerable eye appeal
to an underlying silvery glow. The 1870-S half is rare in any Mint
State grade; only 21 pieces are certified by PCGS and NGC combined,
in spite of a mintage just over 1 million pieces. Of these, just
three coins are MS65 with none finer. This attractive Gem is the
only one of the three to receive the Gold CAC designation as
possibly deserving of an even higher grade. Population: 2 in 65, 0
finer (11/13).From The Usibelli Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
