Description

Radiantly Toned Gem 1879 Half

1879 50C MS 65 PCGS. Of the 4,800 business strike half dollars coined in 1879, the limited number of Gem survivors never fail to excite bidders when they appear at auction. In addition to unqualified technical superiority, this coin's desirability is enhanced by beautiful electric-blue, crimson, and peach-orange target toning. A beautiful coin that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
From the Indiana Collection.
