- A highly collectible example of this first year half dollar issue. The O-105 is moderately scarce, rated R-5. The fields show light lines from circulation and overall this coin may have been lightly wiped long ago. The strike was bold, most of the devices are still visible despite the wear. PCGS 47, NGC 34. The most recent PCGS-graded coin brought $9,400 in April 2017 (another brought $8,812 in that same sale). The PCGS Price Guide value is $12,000. Historically important as the premier issue of half dollars for circulation. While the mintage of copper half cents and large cents began the year before, it took an act of Congress to get the approval to reduce the bond amount needed to coin silver and gold coins. Silver coins, starting with half dollars and silver dollars began late in the year. What a great relic of the earliest days of Federal coinage! Cert. Number 31408651 PCGS # 6051
