Lot Description

Exceptionally Vivid Gem Proof 1869 Half Dollar 1869 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. A glorious example of both the type and issue that really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The obverse is particularly noteworthy, what with the vivid peripheral toning in cobalt blue and reddish-gold that encircles that side. Similar colors are seen at the reverse border, where they more closely hug the rim. The centers on both sides are brilliant to allow full appreciation of a boldly cameoed finish. Fully struck and expertly preserved, this awe-inspiring upper end Gem is sure to sell for a strong premium to a discerning collector. It is one of the finest certified and undoubtedly finest known survivors from a mintage of 600 Proof 1869 half dollars. Provenance: From the Huber Collection. PCGS Population: 7; with a single Proof-67 Cameo finer in this category. There are no Deep Cameo specimens certified. CAC Population: 4; 0. PCGS# 86427. NGC ID: 27U4.
