1878 50C MS (PCGS#6358)

November 2021 Baltimore U.S. Coins auction

详细说明: 1878 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-65 (PCGS). This richly original Gem exhibits multiple layers of warm copper-gray, antique gold and rose-gold toning. Smooth satin surfaces and a sharply executed strike provide further appeal. 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 scarcer in Mint State than the low mintage deliveries of the 1879 to 1891 era. At the Gem level the issue is a noteworthy condition rarity.
