Lot 1044
1881 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 66. Abundant eye appeal on this smoky blue toned gem, we note a bright area around the shield, and the reverse has less toning. Excellent surfaces that show no hairlines of any consequence. As to the strike, we see minor weakness on the high points of Liberty. Identifiable by a thin line on Liberty's chest, probably mint caused. PCGS has only graded 10 this high, with none graded higher. Another opportunity for the specialist.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased in a group of Proofs from 1859 to 1908 from James G. Macallister on October 17, 1944 for $200.00.
