Description
1889 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-66 (PCGS).
Liberty Seated half dollars produced from 1878 to 1890 bear some of the lowest mintages for the entire series, with any example from these deliveries bringing exceptional premiums at auction. The 1889-dated issue was struck to the tune of just 12,000 pieces, and the representative in the present lot ranks near the top of the PCGS Population Report, a position it shares with just 14 other specimens, with two finer, an MS-67 is the highest. In terms of eye appeal, however, it seems unlikely that any would match our current offering, for both sides are fully brilliant and mint-fresh. Sharply impressed throughout, we are challenged to locate a singularly distracting abrasion, and the luster is satiny and coruscant.
PCGS# 6371. NGC ID: 24L4.
