Lot Description

1887 Seated Liberty Half Dollar. MS-64 (NGC). CAC. Frosty and lustrous with a somewhat cameo-like appearance between the frosty motifs and satiny fields. A whisper of golden toning engages both sides. One of just 5,000 circulation strikes of the date produced, no doubt owing to the Mint's enormous production run of more than 20.2 million 1887-dated Morgan dollars. Choice and appealing for the grade with a crisp strike and no marks of consequence.
