- 1882 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-67 * (NGC). Offered is one of the finest graded and certainly one of the finest known of this elusive date. After all, the mintage was a mere 4,400 pieces for circulation -- so low because of the need to coin all those handsome Morgan dollars. The color is white-silver with a touch of peripheral gold at the obverse dentils; the reverse is a bit more pastel-golden in color. Slightly reflective fields with strongly frosted devices. The surfaces are a delight to study, as so few signs of handling are present. There is just one tiny mark below GOD on the ribbon mentioned to identify this coin. The radiance of the surfaces, the bright white color and the depth of strike all contribute to the great eye appeal. Diagnostic ridge on the left wing of the eagle seen on both Proofs and Mint State coins of this year, an apparent problem in the master hub, or this reverse die was used to coin both issues as well as the 1883 half dollars. PCGS# 6364. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. NGC Census: 8 (this is one of two with the * designation); 1 finer (MS-68 Finest).
