<B>1882 50C MS68 NGC.</B></I> While the Bland-Allison act spurred the purchase and coinage of vast quantities of silver, practically all of the metal went to dollars, and minor coinage suffered comparative neglect. In 1882, for example, the year's production of half dollars amounted to just 4,400 pieces, a trifling quantity compared to the 11.1 million dollars struck at Philadelphia for that year.<BR> A delicate melange of gold, rose, sea-green, and amber patina graces both sides of this amazing coin, which has boldly impressed devices and vibrant, partly reflective luster. Even under strong magnification, the surfaces betray only the most insignificant of flaws. In addition to its status as one of the two finest known halves from 1882 (one at NGC and one at PCGS), this stupendous representative is one of just seven total With Motto Seated halves awarded the MS68 grade by NGC, with none finer for the series (8/07).<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>)
