1888 50C MS (PCGS#6370)

The Regency Auction 34

详细说明: While the U.S. mints churned out hundreds of millions of Morgan dollars between 1877 and 1889, the branch mints ceased producing any coins other than gold and Morgan dollars, and the main mint at Philadelphia production dropped to miniscule numbers. Indeed the 1888 had a mintage of only 12,001 pieces. Luckily for collectors, many of these were preserved at time of issue and there are a number of Mint State examples. However, as soon as you approach the GEM category, they become quite scarce, and this MS66+ is among the dozen finest graded at PCGS (Population 4; 8 finer, all MS67). The present Premium GEM oozes with a thick satiny mint frost that has a rich creamy texture. A pearly-silver luster blooms on both sides with a delicate halo of golden-russet framing the peripheries. Generally well struck up, the surfaces are clean and devoid of any serious marks that would affect the essentially SUPERB eye appeal. PCGS 24, NGC 15, CAC 15. There are 4 in MS66+, and the ones that have sold in auction have realized between $7,050 and $7,638. The current PCGS value is listed at $9,500. What a great type or date coin for anyone looking for a high end With Motto Seated Liberty half. Good luck! Cert. Number 3759478 PCGS # 006370
