Lot Description

1881 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-102. Type II Reverse. MS-66 (NGC). Well struck and highly attractive, both sides of this silver-white Gem are devoid of both toning and distracting abrasions. The fields are partially mirrored, and the strike only wanes slightly at the top of the obverse. A conditionally rare survivor from a paltry mintage of just 10,000 circulation strike half dollars bearing the 1881 date. PCGS# 6363. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. NGC Census: 14 in 66; 3 finer (67 the finest).
