Lot Description

1867-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-4. Rarity-3. Repunched Mintmark. MS-64 (PCGS). Blushes of pretty reddish-gold and lilac-blue iridescence enliven the peripheries of this otherwise brilliant near-Gem. The toning is more extensive on the obverse, although both sides are equally lustrous with an appealing frosty texture. The 1867-S was produced in generous numbers (1,196,000 coins) for a half dollar from the late 1860s/early 1870. The vast majority of survivors show evidence of heavy commercial use and locating a Mint State survivor is a challenging task under normal market conditions. A significant condition rarity that is sure to see spirited bidding among astute Liberty Seated half dollar collectors. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS Population: 5; 2 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 6322. NGC ID: 24JU. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
