Lot 715
1847 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Normal date. NGC graded Proof 64. An extreme rarity in Proof, perhaps a dozen were struck, and this is certainly one of the best to survive. Toned with mottled brushes of rich blue and gold on both sides, with highly reflective mirror fields beneath. Identifiable by a tiny planchet flake above the L of HALF. We note some trivial hairlines in the fields, but they are toned over and barely show. One of the finer ones to survive, and a few of the others known are nicked or badly cleaned. A superb opportunity for the specialist. NGC has graded 2 this high, with 2 graded higher, while PCGS has only graded 1 coin this high and none higher.
Estimated Value $17,500-UP.
