Lot Description

Collectors know that the 1880 half-dollar almost always comes prooflike, which means the coin could stand out like a sore thumb within a collection of circulation-strike half-dollars. Picking up a moderately circulated example with strictly original surfaces assures against such an occurrence. This phenomenally vintage piece also offers well-preserved surfaces whose only fault is a minor old, darkly toned pinscratch over the eagle's beak.
