- 1878 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-65 (PCGS). Sharply struck and splashed with vivid multicolored toning, this is an exceptionally well preserved and attractive example of the issue. The 1878 is the final high mintage circulation strike half dollar of the Liberty Seated design type with 1,377,600 pieces produced. Beginning in 1879 and continuing through the series' end in 1891 the Philadelphia Mint would deliver few circulation strikes as the Treasury Department distributed huge quantities of older half dollars that had been hoarded during the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. The 1878 is an underrated issue, being far rarer in Mint State than the low mintage deliveries of the 1879 to 1891 era. At the Gem level the present example numbers among the finest certified and is sure to catch the eye of astute Liberty Seated half dollar collectors. PCGS# 6358. NGC ID: 24KN. PCGS Population: 10; 5 finer (MS-66+ finest).
