Lot 1713
1885 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66. Flashy and white, with an arc of toning on the upper obverse ranging from rose to deep gold. The devices are highly frosted, while the fields seem forebodingly dark in their reflectivness. A hint of haziness is noted in the fields, and a couple of stray lines from handling, but a glass must be used to see them. NGC has only graded 19 this high, with ten graded higher of the date, that's not many considering 930 were struck for collectors, most of which survive in far lower proof grades. If you demand the best available, then here is a lovely gem of this scarce issue.
Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,200.
