Lot Description

1869 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-66 (PCGS). CAC. This target-toned example is ringed in vivid cobalt blue rim toning that blends with equally inviting medium red and golden-orange iridescence toward the centers. Glassy reflectivity is readily evident at all angles, and it graces both the fields and devices. Expectably smooth for the upper-end Gem grade, and sure to attract solid bids. From a Proof mintage of just 600 pieces; only one example has been graded finer by PCGS than the present sparkling Proof. PCGS# 6427. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS Population: 5 in 66; 1 finer (66+).
