1873-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar, Extremely Fine, SCARCE 0704-11

Description

1873-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar, With Arrows. WB-1, the only die pair identified. Extremely Fine, very lightly scruffy, with what could be called "hairlines".  Very hard to tell if these are from an exceptionally old cleaning, or more naturally from being mixed in with a misc. group of coins set aside by chance by a non-collector.  Given that the color appears natural, I would suspect the later, as random chance is almost certainly the source of 95% of the circulated survivors known.  PCGS CoinFacts estimates a survival of 350 pieces in all grades.  While I take that with a large grain of salt, there is no doubt that this is a difficult coin to find.  Regardless of the minor surface issues, this would probably still certify today.
As for price, unfortunately you can thank ebay’s idiotic fee regime which is costing me about 12% – I am more than happy to sell for less under different circumstances.
I am happy to combine shipping for multiple items – for best service please use the ebay Shopping Cart feature and ASK FOR A COMBINED INVOICE before payment, or contact me for a quote.
I ship at my actual cost for Insured First Class Mail for your protection.
