1879 50C MS (PCGS#6361)

The Regency Auction 32

详细说明: After the passage of the Bland-Allison Act, which passed Congress in 1878 and authorized the striking of millions of Morgan dollars, the mintages for minor silver coins, especially quarters and half dollars dropped dramatically. Most dates in this era have mintages below 10,000; in 1879 only 4,800 were struck for circulation. This SUPERB GEM is one of the finest graded, PCGS has graded just four coins higher. Exceptionally vivid lustrous surfaces have a watery-like, semi-reflective texture to the fields. The devices are sharply rendered by a bold impression from the dies, leaving the reliefs with a wonderful frost. Both sides show off a delightful teal-olive overtone on the obverse and cobalt-teal that surrounds a vibrant orange-rose-gold patina on the central reverse. The obverse shows traces of an ancient fingerprint, attesting to the originality, but may be why CAC chose not to bean this otherwise amazing looking SUPERB GEM. PCGS 16, NGC 8. There has not been a non-CAC example sold in auction since July 2015, realizing $9,988. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,000. Keep in mind that any of the four coins graded finer will cost double. This wonderful 1879 half dollar will make a great addition to any date or type set. Cert. Number 34155716 PCGS # 6361
