Lot Description

1872-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar. WB-102. MS-64 (PCGS). Dusky golden-gray hues span the obverse and reverse over lustrous fields. The strike is sharp on all the stars, dress lines and dentils, the reverse too with strong feathers and talons. Scant nicks from handling, one serves to identify is a short scratch below R(ICA). The S mintmark is low and thick. Condition Census quality for an 1872-S Seated half, with two seen finer, and a modest trio seen at this grade level at PCGS.
