Lot Description

Condition Census 1891 Half Dollar 1891 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-67 (NGC). Liberty Seated half dollar production moved up a bit during this, the final year of the series. The 1891 is still a low-mintage affair by any standard, and only 200,000 circulation strikes fell from the dies. We offer here one of the two finest certified examples listed on the NGC Census, a modestly toned Superb Gem. Both sides are toned with a pleasant mixture of silver-gray and pastel-orange hues. All areas are highly lustrous with strong mint frost on the devices and reflective surfaces in the fields. Fully struck, virtually pristine and destined for inclusion in the finest cabinet. PCGS# 6373. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier ex: Ashland City Collection. NGC Census: 2 in 67; none finer.
