Lot Description

This snappy Gem is sharply struck with a full endowment of billowy satin luster. An overlay of delicate champagne-gold iridescence further enhances the smooth and inviting surfaces. The 1875-S is a popular type issue from the brief period of increased half dollar mintages during the late Reconstruction era. Upper end Gem Uncirculated survivors from a delivery of 3,200,000 coins are plentiful for a Liberty Seated issue, yet still very scarce to rare when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics.
