- 1862-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-1. Rarity-3. Large S. MS-63+ (PCGS).
Charming pearl gray patina throughout, both sides also reveal vivid champagne-pink undertones as the surfaces dip into a light. Luster is full with a softly frosted texture, the strike bold to sharp over most design elements. 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 a significant total of 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 Mint State coins that have come down to the present day seem to have survived purely as a matter of chance. This is a scarce and desirable premium Choice example whose offering in this sale represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced collector of Liberty Seated coinage.
PCGS Population 3; 15 finer (MS-66 finest).
PCGS# 6308. NGC ID: 24JA.
