Description

1879 Half Dollar, MS64 CAC
Low Mintage, Rare Doily Holder

1879 50C Closed Bud, WB-102, MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1879 has a tiny mintage of 4,800 commercial pieces, since the Philadelphia Mint was kept busy producing silver dollars. The present near-Gem exhibits frosty devices and lustrous fields. The preservation is outstanding for the MS64 level. Housed in a Generation 2.0 Doily label holder, a rare and distinctive variety that briefly replaced the classic "rattler" holder.
From The LS Collection.
