Description

1884 Seated Half, Superb Gem
Profound Eye Appeal

1884 50C MS67 PCGS. With a mintage of only 4,400 business strikes, it is clear that the half dollar was not the Philadelphia Mint's priority at the time. (Contrast the legislatively blessed Morgan dollar, which saw more than 14 million pieces produced in Philadelphia alone that year.) While the small output largely was saved, few coins have come through more than a century so well as this Superb Gem. Lush semireflective surfaces have gorgeous patina, with blue-tones pale to electric at the margins and apricot-to-peach interior toning. Crisply detailed and surprisingly mark-free, an all-around delight. Population: 7 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer (11/14).(Registry values: N1)
