Lot Title:
|
1889 NGC MS-64.
|
|
Description:
|
Classic Mustang Collection, Mintage: 12,000. Low-mintage half-dollars struck during the 1880s almost always show as prooflike coins, and frankly, a satin-luster example like this is quite a find for the collector who wants all his coins to match up to lustrous, circulation-strike characteristics. On top of that, this one appears flat-out undergraded at MS-64, as the fields show no distractions at all, and both sides exhibit uninhibited, full blazing mint luster. Add to that the usual razor-sharp definition always seen, and you have a coin that has "potential" written all over it. (PCGS# 006371)

711 proof half-dollars were minted in 1889, a low number to be sure, from a date that also saw scant business strike production. This is an almond-white example that displays much better eye-appeal... |

Better get out the sunglasses before looking at this coin as the reflectivity is so intense, direct viewing may cause damage to your eye. Rich russet and blue toning is scattered around the... |
