Lot 2940
1871 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. Well struck and white. Only 960 proofs minted. The powerfully impressive, lustrous mirrors are readily appreciable at all angles. This is an important issue among Gem quality type collectors, especially when displaying smooth "cameo frosted" devices. The strike as keen as a razor on this 1871 Proof as well. In the days when this piece was minted, there were only a few thousand collectors in America. Today, with millions of potential buyers for such a piece, the interest is heightened year by year, while the supply of true Gem Proof 67 examples declines as coins are taken off the market by collectors building date runs of these imposing coins. Do you imagine that there will be a single individual in this sale, either in the room or bidding online or by phone, with the blindness not to fall in love with the present low-population coin? Then bid with determination since that is what it will take to own it. Pop 2; none finer in Proof Cameo at NGC.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000.
