Description

1887 50C MS67 NGC. A scarce P-mint from the 1880s with only 5,000 pieces produced. In MS67, the grade of the example offered here, this coin becomes quite rare. The present coin displays medium intensity gray-gold, cobalt-blue, and lavender patination over dazzling luster. The fields are somewhat prooflike, and provide a noticeable contrast with the motifs. The design elements are sharply struck, with the only weak areas occurring in a few of the star centers. The surfaces are impeccably preserved throughout. Census: 3 in 67, 0 finer (3/09).
