1863-S 50C AU58 NGC

The 1863-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar is a remarkable example of numismatic history from the San Francisco Mint, boasting a modest original mintage of 916,000 and an exceptionally low survival estimate of just 1,200 coins, or 0.131% of its initial production. This rarity makes it a coveted piece for collectors of Liberty Seated coinage, particularly advanced numismatists. Known for its brilliant to satiny luster, sharp strike, and intricate design details, the 1863-S Half Dollar exemplifies the craftsmanship of the Civil War era. Its obverse displays a soft silver-gray patina with subtle golden toning along the edges, while Liberty’s seated figure and surrounding stars exhibit sharp and precise detail. The reverse complements this aesthetic with a consistent silver-gray tone and crisp, intricate design elements, including the eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, set against smooth reflective fields. With a harmonious balance of luster, toning, and strike quality, coupled with its historical significance and rarity, this 1863-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar is a standout opportunity for collectors seeking a cornerstone piece for an advanced U.S. coin collection.
