Intriguing 1877/6 Half Dollar, MS64
1877/6 50C MS64 PCGS. FS-301. The 1877/6 overdate has remnants from a previous 6 visible on the top surface of the final 7. Although it was known at the time, Wiley and Bugert did not list it in their reference on Seated half dollar die varieties. Instead, they labeled the piece a "so-called" 1877/6 overdate. Others, including Bill Fivaz feel that it is a legitimate overdate, and obviously PCGS does as well.The obverse of this piece has fully prooflike fields with peripheral gold, russet, and blue toning. The reverse has frosty luster with similar toning. All design elements are boldly defined, and the overdate feature is clearly visible with a glass.
PCGS has only certified two examples of this overdate, both MS64, although the variety was just recently added to the firm's list of coin varieties that they will grade.
