THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART II The mintages of half dollars fell to 8,400 in 1880, as the mints across the country focused on churning out tens of millions of Morgan dollars. This MS66 example is about as high a grade as you could possibly hope to own (less than a half dozen examples have ever graded higher). This lustrous example has surfaces that range from satiny with a creamy white frost to flashy and semi-reflective. The devices are wonderfully frosted and sharply struck up. Brilliant, and essentially untoned, the eye appeal is quite nice. We are not sure why CAC didn't bean this LOVELY GEM! PCGS 21, NGC 11. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $5,000 and there has not been an example in MS66 sold in over four years. Don't let this GEM get away. Cert. Number 5987305 PCGS # 6362.00
