Description du lot

1862 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-64 (PCGS). The original mintage of the circulation strike 1862 half dollar is a not overly generous 253,000 pieces. Since this issue was delivered during the chaotic years of the Civil War, it is easy to understand why high-quality Mint State examples are scarce in today's market. While many date collectors look to the 550-piece Proof delivery to help fill the void, we caution that even specimen strikings are difficult to come by at the finer levels of preservation. A thin layer of hazy, opaque patina blankets each side. Otherwise, the devices are sharpy defined including the stars, Liberty's head and the eagle's wing all as expected of a Proof striking. There are no mentionable detractions such as spots or marks. A delightful choice as a type coin representative. PCGS# 6416. NGC ID: 27TN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
