- 1875-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-18. Rarity-4. Misplaced Date, Very Small S. MS-64 (PCGS). This highly lustrous, satin to softly frosted example is brilliant apart from wisps of golden-apricot iridescence here and there around the borders. 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. The WB-18 variety, offered here, exhibits the base of an errant 1 protruding from Liberty's rock support above the primary digit 1 in the date. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 800931. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
