Lot Description

1868-S Liberty Seated Half Dime. MS-66 (NGC). Top-of-the-Census quality for this scarce, heavily circulated early San Francisco Mint silver issue. Beautiful surfaces are brilliant apart from blushes of pale champagne-apricot iridescence around the peripheries. Sharply struck with a smooth and inviting appearance that is worthy of the strongest bids. From a mintage of 280,000 pieces, the typical survivor of which is well worn, if not also impaired. Here, then, is a remarkable condition rarity that would serve as a highlight in the finest collection of Liberty Seated coinage. NGC Census: 5; 0 finer. PCGS# 4393. NGC ID: 234P.
