1875-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-6. Rarity-3. Very Small S. MS-65 (PCGS). Soft pearl-gray, powder blue and champagne-gold iridescence blankets both sides of this smooth and frosty Gem. In anticipation of the resumption in silver specie payments after its suspension early in the Civil War, which occurred in April 1876, the United States Mint stepped up half dollar production at all of its facilities in 1875. The San Francisco Mint struck 3,200,000 examples of this denomination that year, the 1875-S one of the more popular type candidates in the later Liberty Seated half dollar series. This handsome Gem would do particularly well in a high grade set. PCGS# 6351. NGC ID: 24KF.
