Description du lot

1860 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-63 (PCGS). This boldly and vividly toned beauty also offers razor sharp striking detail and a lively reflective finish from the rims to the centers. The 1860 is much scarcer in numismatic circles than a mintage of 1,000 pieces might imply, many of the coins failing to sell during an era when the Mint had just started marketing Proofs to contemporary collectors. The present example not only avoided being placed into circulation, but it has come down to us with solid Choice quality and truly memorable eye appeal. PCGS# 6414. NGC ID: 27TK. Provenance: From the Alexander Collection.
