1865-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar (50c)

Honest, original wear defines this Civil War-era San Francisco half, cloaked in a natural medium-gray skin with warm slate and hints of gold. Detail is strong for a 25 - LIBERTY remains readable on the shield, the eagle's feathers show pleasing separation, and the rims and legends are full. The surfaces are smooth and undisturbed, with nothing distracting to report. Housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder and CAC-approved, this specimen offers the wholesome circulated look that is getting harder to find in Seated coinage.
