Description du lot

1889 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-66+ (PCGS). CAC. Intense reddish-russet toning at the centers is framed with perfectly balanced teal-blue around the rims. The strike is bold and the colorful array is exceptionally elegant. Furthermore -- as if the toning alone were not enough -- the surfaces are outstanding, virtually pristine and with no signs of handling. This is clearly one of the finest to survive from a Proof mintage of 711 pieces. A prize for the specialist and a coin that any collector will long cherish. PCGS# 6450. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS Population: 1; 3 finer (Proof-67 finest) within the Proof designation.
