Lot Description

FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III A frosty untoned Choice AU. An important Civil War era condition rarity, the 64-S half dollar is VERY RARE in any Mint State grade. Bluntly struck on the reverse periphery from a late die state. Both dies clashed, the reverse also is from a shattered state, with numerous cracks and a cud below the denomination. The central details offer crisp definition. Signs of an old, minor dip are evident, but the eye appeal remains decent overall. VERY RARE finer. PCGS 9, NGC 15. The most recent example brought $1,350 in February 2019 and the current Collectors Universe value is $1,750. An important Civil War date for the collector. Cert. Number 1841574010 PCGS # 6312
