1859 Liberty Seated Half Dime. PCGS graded Proof 65. A gorgeous example of this date. Deep blue toning around the rim, with frosty white centers. The reverse is lighter, with gold around the rim.

PCGS notes 21 graded as such, with 9 graded higher (best PR-67).

From the Benson collection and purchased from B. Max Mehl for $4.20 probably around 1944.
