Lot Description

1866 Liberty Seated Half Dime. Proof-65 (NGC). This richly and originally toned beauty reveals iridescent undertones as reddish-apricot, pale gold and cobalt blue as the surfaces dip into a light. Dominant olive-copper and pearl gray patina to both sides, the devices are sharply struck and the fields exhibit decided reflective qualities at the same direct lighting angles. Lovely and scarce Gem quality from a mintage of 725 Proof half dimes of this date. NGC Census: 24; 12 finer in this category (Proof-68 finest). PCGS# 4449. NGC ID: 2363.
