- 1862-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Type I Reverse. WB-1. Rarity-3. Damaged 6, Large S. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
A crisp early striking from these dies, both sides exhibit razor sharp detail to all features. Full satin luster shines forth powerfully from brilliant surfaces that are also devoid of troublesome marks. Suggestive of MS-64 quality, this upper end example is worthy of the strongest bids. Although silver coins disappeared from circulation in the East and Midwest early in the Civil War, it remained business as usual on the West Coast throughout the 1860s. In 1862, for example, the San Francisco Mint churned out 1,352,000 half dollars, most of which saw immediate and extensive commercial use. With no known collectors in California during the era, the few existing Mint State coins seem to have survived purely as a matter of chance. This is a rare and desirable CAC-approved example whose offering in this sale represents a significant bidding opportunity for advanced collectors of Liberty Seated coinage.
PCGS Population: 12; 16 finer (MS-66 finest). CAC Population: 2; 4.
