FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III Among the highest graded at PCGS, there are five graded MS65, and just three graded higher at PCGS. WB-102, Die Pair 6 with the Medium S mint mark. Only 566,000 examples were struck, and as noted, these are VERY RARE in such a lofty state of preservation. The entire silver dollar mintage was struck for export to China, making the half dollar the largest denomination for circulation, and they did just that. A strong radiating luster blooms boldly on the brilliant, frosty surfaces and satiny fields. Sharply struck from clashed dies, the eye appeal is unimpaired by any of the small, widely scattered ticks and traces of ancient toning on the rims. PCGS 5, NGC 3. This coin sold in March 2016 for $7,638. The current PCGS value is $9,000 and there are just three graded finer at PCGS. A real prize for the advanced Seated half dollar specialist and bidding will be strong. Cert. Number 33396804 PCGS # 6298
