FINEST KNOWN AT BOTH SERVICES!
The 1887 Liberty Seated Half Dollar stands as one of the most condition-sensitive issues of the late Seated series, with a remarkably low mintage of just 5,000 pieces. Struck at a time when demand for half dollars in circulation was minimal, many examples were preserved with care, often displaying reflective, Prooflike surfaces that blur the line between business strikes and proof-quality coinage.
This example, certified NGC MS-67+, represents the absolute pinnacle of preservation for the date. NGC has graded just 1 at MS67+ with none finer, while PCGS reports 2 examples at the same level, confirming its status as tied for Finest Known across both services. Such extreme rarity in top condition underscores the issue’s elusiveness, even among advanced collectors specializing in high-grade Seated coinage.
As Ron Guth has noted, in MS67 this date is exceptionally rare, a direct result of its tiny mintage and the unusual care with which surviving coins were handled. The combination of sharp strike, luminous reflectivity, and virtually pristine surfaces places this coin among the most technically impressive survivors of the Liberty Seated half dollar series.
