FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION One of the few Philadelphia mint silver coins in this collection that actually saw some use in commerce. Who knows? Was this coin in some soldier's pocket at Gettysburg or Vicksburg? Lightly worn surfaces show varying shades of pewter and slate gray over slightly abraded surfaces, but retain a decent eye appeal overall. On July 4, 1863, the day after George Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated General Lee at Gettysburg, General Grant accepted the surrender of Vicksburg. The months long siege brought the entire length of the vital Mississippi River under Federal control. PCGS 12, NGC 1. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $550. It is an interesting coin for anyone looking for an affordable Civil War issue half dollar. Cert. Number 35227435 PCGS # 6309
