1881 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66. Nice blue and gold toning. Only 975 proofs minted. Another gorgeous Proof half dollar whose rich frosty white devices pulsate with an inner energy like atomic fission below the electric blue and pale purple toning. Moving along, we can cheerfully report a crisp, presentable strike, with boldness to the stars, Liberty's figure and head detail, both shields, as well as the eagle's feathers on the neck and wings. All are a sign of first-class care in striking. The consignor of the piece has no worry about having to draw potential buyers screaming and kicking like an angry child into the room to bid on his pristine gem. On the contrary, the coin should experience multiple bids under intense bidding pressure, and justifiably so! Pop 23; 3 in PF67; 1 in PF68.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
