Lot 790
1879. PCGS graded MS-62. Only 4,800 minted. A hint of tone near the edges. This is a noteworthy Select example whose smooth frosted surface show only a few light marks or hairlines, while the devices claim full definition throughout and are largely free of distracting contact marks. A sharp impression was left by the recoil of the dies that struck most 1879-dated half dollars. Similar to what we see in the Seated Quarter Dollar series, mintage declined markedly in 1879-89 and all are popular dates (PCGS # 6361) .
Estimated Value $650 - 700.
