Description
1877-S Seated Half Dollar, MS67+
Finest Certified at NGC
1877-S 50C MS67+ NGC. WB-104. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Type
Two Reverse. Although more than 5.3 million Seated Liberty half
dollars were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1877, few
survivors exhibit the high technical quality and eye appeal of the
present coin.This piece displays the closed bud above H in HALF that identifies the tail hub 2, WB-104 variety, with a very small mintmark. The design elements are boldly detailed and the well-preserved surfaces are free of mentionable distractions. Attractive shades of cobalt-blue, golden-brown, and lilac toning enhance the outstanding eye appeal and vibrant mint luster shines through the patina. Census: 4 in 67+, 0 finer (10/13).

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
