Description

1887 50C MS67 PCGS. This later Seated half dollar issue had a low mintage of 5,000 circulation strikes, and survivors are rarely found at the Superb Gem level of preservation. In fact, PCGS has certified a mere four coins at MS67 and NGC three specimens, with none seen any finer at either company (6/09). Intensely frosty with gorgeous, light original gold toning near the borders. The devices are crisply defined throughout, including the often-weak head of Liberty, as well as the eagle's talons and arrow fletchings. A more splendid example of the 1887 Seated half dollar is difficult to imagine.
