Lot Description

1884 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-65 (NGC). Brilliant with a delicate charcoal periphery on the obverse, the reverse is similar but a bit deeper in tone. The surfaces are smooth for a Proof half dollar of this type, and the eye appeal is excellent. Difficult to find at the Gem grade level in Proof, as this is one of just 875 coined in that format for the year. Furthermore this is a very low mintage date for circulation as well, with 4,400 pieces struck for the year. Collector demand has always been strong for this series and run of low mintage dates from 1879 to 1891. PCGS# 6445. NGC ID: 27UK. Click here for certification details from NGC.
