Lot Description

Glittering 1877 Gem Proof Half Dollar 1877 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-66+ Cameo (NGC). Bright and frosty central motifs and deeply mirrored fields exhibit bold and deep sunset-orange iridescence that increases to scarlet toward the rims. This is one of only two "+" designations from NGC within any Proof category. One of 510 Proofs produced. A beautiful coin that easily warrants the "+" recognition from NGC. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers The Kaufman Collection was truly outstanding, a wonderful presentation. This lovely Gem moved from one great collection to another and is now offered for sale, providing an opportunity for it to enter another great collection. PCGS# 86438. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Philip Kaufman Collection, September 2002, lot 6867.
