1879 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. An unusually flashy Gem BU, with both sides outlined in a purplish blue iridescent toning that looks like something off a painter's palette. Boldly struck, immaculate, and stunning in its eye appeal. Of the 4,800 original business strikes (coins made for commerce, not for collecting) of this year, here is one of the very best of the survivors. Bid for it as if it were a cultural treasure--for, in fact, it is!.
