<B>1864 50C MS67 PCGS.</B></I> Despite the tremendous strain on the nation's resources, the needs of commerce continued in the North, and though Gresham's law had driven most gold and silver coinage from circulation, Philadelphia continued to strike pieces in those precious metals. Its business strike production of halves for 1864 amounted to 379,100 pieces.<BR> High-end date and type collectors alike should find this MS67 representative irresistible. The strongly lustrous, slightly satiny surfaces are predominantly silver-white with whispers of peach-rose at the margins. The crisply struck devices are virtually immaculate, as are the fields. A simply breathtaking representative of this Civil War issue.
