Description
1889 Seated Half, MS67
Finest Example Certified at PCGS
1889 50C MS67 PCGS. The 1889 half was struck toward the end
of the decade-plus era of very low production runs for quarters and
half dollars. These low production totals began with implementation
of the Bland-Allison Act in 1878, an act that demanded almost full
attention of Mint personnel to the striking of silver dollars that
were required by law. Only 12,000 halves were struck in 1889, and
the same number were produced the following year. It wasn't until
1891 that half dollar mintages began to recover to their pre-1879
levels (still only 200,000 pieces struck). This is a radiant
example and the finest certified at PCGS (1/16). Strike details are
complete throughout. The mint luster is frosted and races around
each side as the piece is tilted beneath a light. The centers are
noticeably lighter in hue with significant reddish-russet toning
encircling the margins.(Registry values: N1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24L4, PCGS# 6371, GSID# 6309)
