Lot Description

1871 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-64 (PCGS). This boldly struck, smooth-looking specimen is dressed in dominant rose-gray patina. Blended cobalt blue, olive and reddish-gold highlights are also very much in evidence, especially around the reverse periphery. The Proof mintage for the 1871 half dollar is 960 pieces, a relatively generous total for the era that makes this one of the more popular pre-1873 type issues in the Proof Liberty Seated series.
