Lot 1009
1858 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. A lovely example of this rare proof issue, this one boasts deep blue at the rims, vibrant gold next, and highly reflective fields and devices. This is one of Breen's "high date" examples, as the 5 nearly touches the rock above. One minor lint mark inside of the sixth star and a few others in the fields. If you want a real beauty to represent this rare proof date, then take a look at this one, we think it has truly exceptional eye appeal.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Milferd H. Bolender on February 15, 1946 for $21.00.
