- 1879 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-102. Type II Reverse. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. The 1879 was the first of several low mintage half dollar issues following the implementation of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, which mandated that significant resources be exhausted in the production of millions of silver dollars annually. Although often overlooked by numismatic scholars, another reason why coinage of this denomination was limited from 1879 through 1890 is because the nation's economy was struggling to absorb a backlog of previously hoarded silver coins that had disappeared from commercial channels in the Eastern United States early in the Civil War. Only 4,800 pieces were struck for the circulation strike 1879, and Mint State survivors are heavily sought-after by collectors. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS# 6361.
