1874-S 50C MS63 Certification #34840467, PCGS #6348

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Ex Towers Collection. Arrows, Minute S, WB-103, Die Pair 3, R.3. A die chip on Liberty's chest and two other prominent lumps in the middle-left (facing) gown folds confirm the obverse, while the Minute S mintmark is high and left of the feather tip. Die cracks at stars 4, 5, and 8 suggest a late die state. Pleasing gold toning envelops the frosty, sharply struck surfaces and reddish-gold accents visit the borders. Scarce at this grade or any finer.
