Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1867 Half Dollars. Coins in higher grades, particularly those in Mint State (MS), are significantly rarer and more valuable. The strike quality can vary, with well-struck examples commanding a premium. Luster is another important factor, with coins retaining original mint luster being highly prized by collectors.
For the San Francisco issue, many examples show signs of weak strikes, particularly on the reverse. Well-struck S-mint coins are especially desirable and can command substantial premiums.

Toning can significantly impact the value of 1867 Half Dollars. Coins with attractive, natural toning are often more desirable to collectors than those with no toning or unattractive toning. The presence of original mint luster beneath the toning is particularly valued.
Due to their age and historical significance, provenance can also play a role in value. Coins with a documented history of ownership by notable collectors or inclusion in famous collections may command a premium.
Lastly, the overall eye appeal of the coin, combining factors such as strike, luster, and toning, can significantly influence its desirability and value in the collector market.
