1876 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. Type I Reverse. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Wonderfully original in preservation, otherwise dominant mauve-gray patina blends with more vivid cobalt blue and antique gold iridescence around the peripheries. Frosty in finish with vivid pinkish-apricot undertones that are bolder on the reverse. With specie payments resuming in April 1876, silver coinage returned to circulation in the East and Midwest for the first time since its withdrawal through hoarding early in Civil War. The Philadelphia Mint churned out a circulation strike mintage of 8,418,000 coins that year to provide new half dollars for commercial use, a record total for that facility in the Liberty Seated series. Also popular for type purposes due to its association by date with the United States Centennial, the 1876 is enjoys particularly strong demand in attractive Mint State preservation, as here. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Acquired from Jonathan Kern, August 1994. PCGS# 6352. NGC ID: 24KG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
