1872 Half Dollar, MS66+
Radiant Luster, The Finest Certified

1872 50C WB-101 MS66+ NGC. A mintage exceeding 880,000 pieces and uninspiring Guide Book values hinder collector recognition of the 1872 Seated half dollar as a scarce date. High-end circulated coins are infrequently seen, and the issue is genuinely rare at any Mint State level. This Plus-designated Premium Gem is the sole finest certified. Luster glistens on the frosty, untouched surfaces while yielding lovely orange-gold, lavender, and deep blue toning. The strike is boldly rendered, and a few tiny ticks are restricted to the high points of Liberty's legs. An outstanding opportunity for the astute Seated half specialist. Census: 4 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer (12/15).
