Description
Shining Superb Gem 1879 Half Dollar
1879 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Type Two Reverse. Like the Seated half dollar issues of the 1880s, the 1879 coins, minted in the wake of the passage of silver-purchase legislation, had only a token mintage of circulation-strike pieces while unwanted silver dollars were made by the millions. Despite the meager mintage, a number of high-grade examples have survived, including this Superb Gem, which is housed in a green label holder. Both sides are immensely lustrous with considerable reflectivity. Occasional hints of cloud-white and champagne toning visit surfaces that shine silver-white elsewhere. Population: 13 in 67, 2 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24KS, PCGS# 6361, GSID# 6299)
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 12.50 grams
