Losbeschreibung

1859 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-67 * (NGC). Vibrantly toned with a headlight center on Liberty, rose-russet next and framed in a broad circle of teal and blue around the rim of the obverse. The reverse appears medium gray until examined under a light where it comes alive with gold, blue and rose-gold hues that closely match the obverse hues. Boldly struck and of outstanding quality for the specialist. There is a tiny dot over the top of the 1 in the date, seen on other Proofs of this year. One of the very finest to survive, and the only example to be awarded the Star by NGC for eye appeal of the top graded pieces, thus arguably the finest known of the date.
