Delicate pearly-silver hues blend to rich olive and russet accents near the rims. The toning is a touch deeper on the reverse. The eye appeal is quite exceptional.. With the tons of silver pouring out of Nevada mines, the price of silver dropped, causing the need to increase the weight of silver coins in circulation. The February 12, 1873 Mint Act increased the weights, and the weight of the half dollar to 12.5 grams, up from 12.44. Like in 1853, this weight change was designated by the placement of Arrows at the date. While 1,815,200 were originallystruck, very few were saved; today, PCGS and NGC have combined assigned MS65 or higher grades on only 28 occasions, which no doubt includes duplicate submissions. PCGS 0, NGC 1. As mentioned this is the FINEST example certified by either PCGS or NGC. While this coin has a record from thedepths of the 2015-16 downturn of the market, we do not think that level represents this coin’s true value.

LOT 311 $1 1861 PCGS PR65+ From the Dale Larsen Collection. The highlight of the selection of toned coins from Dale’s collection, this GEM 1861 is one of the most beautifully toned No Motto dollars this cataloger has seen. Bold mirrored fields and exceptionally well struck devices are bathed in a captivating blend of red, orange, gold, and icy blue hues.
