<B>1880 50C MS66 PCGS.</B></I> The 1880 half dollar comes from a mintage of 8,400 business strikes. Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert, in their Seated Liberty half dollar reference, say of this low-mintage issue that it was "somewhat saved." Saved or not, Premium Gems, such as the piece described here, are not plentiful. Semi-prooflike fields offer a pleasing contrast with the mildly frosted, sharply struck design elements. Color-free surfaces reveal just a few minor luster grazes and wispy marks. Population: 17 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>\)
