1890 Half Dollar, MS66+
Frosty and Lightly Toned

1890 50C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. As 1890 was another low mintage year for half dollars at the Philadelphia Mint, continuing the trend established after the 1878 Morgan dollar introduction. Only 12,000 pieces were struck. Up to 200 coins were saved by dealers in the Philly area, and the rest went into circulation. The present coin has a good strike and shows only minor field contact. The reverse border displays blushes of autumn-gold toning, but the remainder of this lustrous Premium Gem is brilliant. Population: 10 in 66 (3 in 66+), 8 finer. CAC: 4 in 66, 3 finer (6/20).(Registry values: N2998)
