1880 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-102. Type II Reverse. MS-64 (NGC). This richly and attractively toned example is layered in bold steely-charcoal, cobalt blue, pale gold and reddish-rose. The design elements are sharply struck and contrast nicely with semi-reflective fields. Popular with todays collectors, the 1880 is from an era of low mintage circulation strike half dollars that commenced in 1879 and continued through the end of the Liberty Seated series in 1891. The handsome near-Gem offered here is one of just 8,400 coins produced in this format.
