Lot Description

A premium quality, Gem Mint State example that boasts smooth, frosty surfaces, lightly toned in iridescent sandy-gold. With a mintage of 8,304,000 circulation strikes, the 1877 is one of the most frequently encountered Motto Liberty Seated half dollars, though the type as a whole is scarce to rare in the finest Mint State grades, however, and pressure from type collectors keeps demand strong for particularly attractive examples such as this lovely PCGS/CAC MS-65.
