Description
1879 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, MS66
Vivid Multicolor Toning
1879 50C Closed Bud, WB-102, MS66 NGC. The surfaces are
notably prooflike beneath a spectacular display of multicolor
toning, yet the Closed Bud feature suggests this is a confirmed
circulation strike. Longtime storage in a kraft envelope or a coin
board may have induced the colorful patina. Almost overlooked is
the sharp strike that exists throughout both the obverse and the
reverse. This coin is a feast for the eyes and a centerpiece for
the late-series "eye candy" as Eugene Gardner once called the 1879
through 1891 Seated half dollar dates. NGC Census: 38 in 66 (6 in
66+, 2 in 66★ , 1 in 66+★ ), 14 finer (12/25).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 572260, Base PCGS# 6361)
Weight: 12.50 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
