THE Single Highest Graded -1863 Seated Liberty Half Dollar PCGS PR66+ Deep Cameo

Sirhc

The Philadelphia Mint struck a small production of 460 proof Seated Liberty half dollars for collectors in 1863, at the height of the Civil War. The generously frosted devices on this beauty stand out in stark contrast to the deeply mirrored fields. Better yet, the contrast is even more pronounced than is apparent in our images. Light iridescent patina in shades of olive, blue and copper, among others, graces the peripheries – more noticeably so on the obverse. This example is the only one to have received this grade and designation from PCGS with none graded higher. It also has the distinction of being the only PCGS DCAM of any grade for this date.

1866 Motto Seated Liberty Half Dollar NGC PR66 Cameo

Sirhc

Only 725 proof Seated Liberty half dollars were minted in 1866, the first year to include the motto IN GOD WE TRUST as part of the reverse design. Proofs are seldom encountered today, but may still be more available than Mint State business strikes. This particualr example is brilliant and color-free, but for some traces of peripheral toning on each side. The NGC population is just 2 with 3 graded higher

Tied for Highest Graded – 1880 Seated Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS67

Sirhc

The years from 1879 through 1890 saw skimpy half dollar mintages at the Philadelphia Mint (and no half dollar mintages elsewhere) as the nation’s coin factories concentrated on increasing the glut of unpopular, largely unused Morgan dollars mandated by cronyism and politics (pardon the redundancy) in the form of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. The Philadelphia Mint struck 8,400 business strikes and 1,355 proofs in 1880 . This example displays color-free surfaces and is tied with five others for the highest graded at NGC.

Listed at $14,400 in the CDN CPG and $13,500 in the NGC price guide.

Just 1 Graded Higher – 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS MS68

Sirhc

The 1942 Walking Liberty half dollar, struck during the midst of World War II to the extent of more than 47 million pieces, is a common coin which can be found in circulated condition in bags of 90% silver to this day. In fact, it’s typically plentiful, even as fine as MS67, but beyond that grade level, the issue is notably rare. The example herein offered boasts exceptionally well-preserved surfaces and bespeaks originality. T he PCGS population is 12 with only 1 graded higher.

Listed at $19,200 in the CDN CPG and $27,500 in the PCGS price guide.
