50 Cents. 1870. L.C.W. ICCS graded Choice Uncirculated-63. This variety of the 1870 50 cent is best recognized by the initials of the designer, Leonard Charles Wyon, along the base of the portrait, but also by the inclusion of a tiny shamrock behind the foremost cross of the crown. While not as elusive as the year's other variety, the LCW 50 cent is extremely scarce in the choice mint state of this example.
The coin has toned to a very uniform straw-gold, with only a few walnut-coloured flecks on the obverse. Faint, hair-like marks along the queen's cheek and neck, almost invisible to the naked eye, are revealed under inspection with a binocular microscope to be blue-purple streaks of toning which do not compromise the surface of the coin.
The strike is nearly full and especially sharp on the reverse, with excellent venation throughout the wreath. The generous mint frost and understated lustre are well preserved, showing only light contacts that are commensurate with the grade.
ICCS has certified only 14 examples in Mint-State, with this piece residing within the top 7. Four are finer, with 3 in MS-64 and a single MS-65. An exceptional rarity and a handsome companion to the No LCW variety also featured in this collection.

GRADING
Grading is the subjective description in the opinion of the cataloguer as to the state of preservation, method of strike, and overall appearance of a particular coin. Adjectival descriptions and terminology (which can and does vary among experts and knowledgeable purchasers), when used in the catalogue, are strictly the opinion of the cataloguer. Where the Auctioneers sells a numismatic item graded and/or encapsulated by a grading service, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that other grading services, the Auctioneers or knowledgeable purchasers might reach a different conclusion as to the state of preservation. Any such information provided by the Auctioneers is the opinion of the third party, without recourse against the Auctioneers in any way whatsoever.
WAIVER OF LIABILITY
the Auctioneers act as an agent only between Consignor and Buyer. the Auctioneers do not represent that any coin catalogued will meet the standards, or the grade, of any third party or third party grading services; that third party graded numismatic items will receive the same grade if resubmitted; that any third party soft flip is secure or that a numismatic item has a particular provenance. The Auctioneers hereby disclaims all liability for damages, incidental, consequential or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the sale of any property by the Auctioneers to the purchaser. All bidders, even if unsuccessful purchasers, agree to abide by this condition, and all other conditions of sale.
