Lot Description

1869 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-66 (NGC). CAC. This target toned beauty is ringed in vivid cobalt blue rim toning that blends with equally inviting medium red and golden-orange iridescence toward the centers. Glassy reflectivity to the finish is readily evident at all angles, and it graces both the fields and devices. Expectably smooth for the premium Gem grade, and sure to sell for a solid bid. From a Proof mintage for the date of just 600 pieces; very few examples of the date have been graded finer by NGC than the present sparkling Proof.
