Lot Description

1884 Seated Liberty Half Dollar. Proof-64 Cameo (NGC). Frosty design elements and mirror fields exhibit a nuance of faint champagne toning. Struck in an era when silver was being coined into millions upon millions of Morgan dollars to the near-exclusion of minor coinage—only 875 proofs and 4,400 circulation strikes of the date saw the light of day.
