- Superb Gem 1890 Half Dollar
Only Three Finer at PCGS
1890 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.
This is an exceptionally vivid and beautiful example of a popular low mintage Liberty Seated half dollar issue. Rich matte-like texture blankets the devices and is framed by satin luster in the fields. Direct lighting calls forth a blend of iridescent electric blue, tangerine and violet that is most intense at the borders. Fully untroubled with razor sharp striking detail, superior surface preservation further confirms this coin as a simply outstanding circulation strike 1890 half dollar. Just 3 coins have been graded finer by PCGS.
Production of this denomination remained limited in 1890 as the nation's economy continued to absorb a backlog of previously hoarded silver coins that had disappeared from commercial channels in the Eastern United States early in the Civil War. Only 12,000 circulation strike half dollars were delivered for the year, all of which are attributed to the Philadelphia Mint. Along with the other low mintage half dollars produced beginning in 1879, the 1890 is among the more eagerly sought issues in the Liberty Seated series. The presently offered example is one of the finest certified and most aesthetically pleasing survivors available in today's market.
PCGS Population: 5; 3 finer.
PCGS# 6372. NGC ID: 24L5.
