Description
1879 Half Dollar, MS67+
Low-Mintage Date, Sole + Certified Coin
1879 50C MS67+ PCGS. CAC. The effect of the passage of the
Bland-Allison Act of 1878 can be seen immediately on quarters and
halves. There simply was not enough manpower (or presses) in the
mints to strike both the dollars required by the act as well as the
minor coinage needed for circulation. The 1878 issue was the last
large-mintage striking through the end of the series in 1891. Only
4,800 halves were struck in 1879. This is one of the finest. The
fields display the usual semiprooflikeness with pale golden centers
that are surrounded by deeper golden-brown and blue around the
margins. Fully struck throughout. Population: 15 in 67 (1 in 67+),
2 finer (5/13).(Registry values: N1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24KS, PCGS# 6361, GSID# 6299)
