1877-S 50C MS66 PCGS
<B>1877-S 50C MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Type Two Reverse. WB-104, R.3. This appears to be Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert's WB-104: "Tail hub variety 2, with very small mintmark" variety as illustrated on page 207 of their book <I>The Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars.</B></I> Wiley and Bugert call the WB-104 an R.1 overall, but note in Mint State grades that it is R.3, as is the 1877-S half dollar overall. The overall mintage is listed as 5,356,000 coins. This specimen is a bright, frosty Gem with a little incipient gold toning at the peripheries, and is exquisitely struck. A small toning spot in the field above the A in HALF identifies this particular piece. Population: 11 in 66, 1 finer (7/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
