Lot Description

The Finest PCGS-Certified 1860 Cameo Proof Liberty Seated Half Dollar Extraordinary Quality and Eye Appeal 1860 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-67+ Cameo (PCGS). This is arguably the finest known 1860 Proof Liberty Seated half dollar. The amazing surface quality, eye appeal, and intense and stunning toning lift it to the top of the charts. The peripheral deep blue shades evolve into crimson and orange-russet at the centers -- the colors perfectly arranged by time and careful storage. Of the 525 Proofs half dollars struck in 1860, this is likely the absolute finest today. You can be certain that whatever price it brings, a finer one won't be appearing in the future. PCGS# 86414. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS Population: 1; none finer.
