Description du lot

Ultra Gem Proof 1888 Half Dollar 1888 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-67+ (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder. This superb Gem will attract attention from all directions as it crosses the block. It is ideal for an advanced specialist, a competitor in the Registry Set program, or for someone who simply wants a trophy coin. It is beautifully toned with light rose-gold at the centers, teal and lemon through the fields, and framed with a vibrant dash of russet or blue in organized rings. The strike is absolute and precise and the surfaces are a delight as they are so completely free of contact. The mintage for the year came in at 800 pieces and this is the sole PR-67+ seen by PCGS in any Proof category, and thus has well deserved claims to being the finest known of this date. Given the exceptionally beautiful toning and eye appeal, a record price would be in order.Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers They can't be found any nicer than this! PCGS# 6449. PCGS Population: 1; none finer.
