I was actually looking to get a 1903 $2.50 Liberty Head over the weekend and I came across this auction when there was an hour or so to go remaining. Needless to say, the Liberty Head purchase was placed on the back burner. Just finding an affordable one of these is hard enough. The population report at PCGS for this grade is "6".

Sweet! What surprises me is the prices of these older proofs when compared to the regular issues. At the moment I'm on the Seated Liberty dimes and see many with low mintage numbers trading at around a thousand. May just join you and start adding a few to my collection. Although I have not checked on the halves lately I would think the same applies, not as much over a business strike as it should be.

Once you hit 1879 for the circulated Seated Liberty half dollars there is a significant cut in production... http://seatedlibertyhalfdollar.com/...lar-mintage/ In 1881 alone the seated liberty circulated half dollars mintage is at 10,000 and the proofs for this year is 975. That is definitely a driving force in the price of a circulated MS coin demanding high dollar. The odds weren't in the favor of the circulated coins surviving at MS level, but the proofs were or at least had a much better chance of doing so. Can anyone tell me what was the driving force in the reduction of circulated Seated Liberty half dollars from 1879 through 1890? |

Ahhh....yes the Morgan's came in in 1878. That explains it. I should've known.
