This exceptional 1872-S Liberty Seated Half Dime represents a fascinating piece of American numismatic history. Minted at the San Francisco Mint, this coin features the distinctive "Mintmark Below Bow" variety, making it particularly desirable among collectors. Professionally graded and authenticated by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) as MS62, this half dime exhibits impressive mint state preservation with attractive original toning visible in golden and amber hues. The obverse showcases the classic Liberty Seated design, depicting Lady Liberty in flowing robes, while the reverse displays the denomination within an elegant wreath. With a face value of just five cents, these small silver coins played an important role in everyday commerce during the post-Civil War era. The 1872-S issue had a relatively modest mintage, and examples in uncirculated condition like this MS62 specimen are increasingly scarce in today's marketplace. This coin comes securely encapsulated in a PCGS holder with certification number 4401.62/57621148, ensuring its authenticity and grade for future generations. An excellent addition for collectors of Liberty Seated coinage, San Francisco Mint issues, or 19th-century American silver.
