For auction or BUY-it-Now purchase today is an 1870 San Francisco minted Seated Liberty Half Dollar.

It was issued from 1866 through 1891 and is known as the "With Motto" Variety. The PCGS coin catalogue specific details for this coin have been included in my listing.

Coins are often found laying in with other materials read more
