Lot Description

A RESPLENDENT GEM with radiant, highly reflective fields highlighting intensely frosted design elements. Save for one or two faint lines, this coin would be a candidate for a + if not a full grade increase. No guarantees, just our opinion. A mere 1,100 proofs were coined this year. On a side note, what has happened to all of the blast white Seated half dollars of late? Have you noticed that the lion’s share of specimens on the market are toned? Better bid strong if you want this BEAUTY! PCGS 8, NGC 8, CAC 7. The most recent PCGS/CAC example to sell was back in August 2011 - eight long years ago! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,250. With just five coins graded finer in the designation at PCGS, this is a real prize for any advanced Proof Seated collector. Good luck! Cert.
