Lot 1093
1888 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Wonderful blue and golden toning. The Philadelphia Mint delivered only 12,001 business strike seated halves in 1888 -- an impressively low. This outstanding quality specimen displays creamy smooth luster and mar-free surfaces, which, along with the colorful toning, creates an absolutely breathtaking example of the coiner's art. A shallow ghost image under Liberty's elbow is from lightly clashed dies. Obviously a business strike and clearly among the finer examples around. Pop 16; 9 finer. 12,833 minted.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
