Description du lot

1879 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. Type I Reverse. Proof-67 (NGC). Deep blue-gray and argent peripheral toning frames both sides. Essentially silver-gray in the centers, this silky smooth Superb Gem allows ready appreciation for the contrasting lightly frosted devices. Only 1,100 half dollars were struck in Proof for this year, furthermore circulation strike production collapsed as demand for new coins in circulation plummeted to negligible levels. The result is that this is an eagerly sought date among Liberty Seated half dollar specialists, and the inclusion of this Superb Gem Proof will certainly enliven even the most advanced collection. NGC Census: 4; 5 finer within the designation. PCGS# 6440. NGC ID: 27UE. Click here for certification details from NGC.
