- Highly Elusive Gem Uncirculated 1865 Half Dollar
1865 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-8. Rarity-3. Repunched Date. MS-66 (PCGS).
This handsome piece exhibits blushes of powder blue and pinkish-russet iridescence to dominant sandy-silver patina. Attractively original, the surfaces are also carefully preserved with the smooth appearance one would expect for the assigned grade. Sharply struck with full satiny mint luster.
The story of the circulation strike 1865 half dollar mirrors that of the 1862, 1863 and 1864: relatively few were coined (511,400 pieces) and most were kept from entering commerce at the time due to the continuing economic uncertainty surrounding the end of the War and the beginning of Reconstruction. Limited numbers of Mint State examples were set aside by contemporary numismatists in later years, but nowhere enough to meet current collector demand for these popular Civil War era issues from the Philadelphia Mint. Among Uncirculated survivors, precious few can match or exceed the present Gem.
PCGS Population: 8; 3 finer (MS-67 finest).
PCGS# 6313. NGC ID: 24JF.
