Lot Description

1878 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS). Dusted with delicate golden iridescence, this smartly impressed and expertly preserved Gem allows ready appreciation of a boldly cameoed finish. With a generous mintage of 800 pieces and a good rate of survival, the 1878 is not a major rarity among Proof Liberty Seated half dollars. As with all issues of this type, however, it is a conditionally challenging date with few survivors grading Proof-65 or finer, as here. PCGS Population: 4; 17 finer in this category (Proof-68 Cameo finest). PCGS# 86439. NGC ID: 27UD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
