Lot 2289
1889 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Resplendent toning here, with radiant blue at the periphery with the balance a deep reddish gold over the lustrous surfaces. Boldly struck on the devices, with each star sharp and complete, and similar details on the eagle's claws too. Both the obverse and reverse are toned evenly, although the center of the reverse is a bit lighter overall. Simply superb, and a gem by any standards. PCGS has graded a scant 7 this high, and importantly none are graded higher! Add to this, the original mintage of a paltry 12,000 coins, and you know that not many are around in top grades. If you want one of the very finest to exist, and love superbly toned coins, then take a look at this jewel. In PCGS holder #10009056.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
