Lot 1262
1868 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-61 PQ. A fantastic specimen with deeply prooflike fields and an intensely desirable cameo contrast. Liberty is soaked in original mint frost and displays no disturbing marks. The fields are lustrous and satiny. The reverse fields have a very light original film that has settled onto them but it does not distract from the otherwise prooflike and frosty appearance. The 1868 half dollar had a mintage of 418,200 but the survival rate has been low in comparison to the mintage. This issue could be considered scarce in all grades and rare in a condition such as this specimen. PCGS has graded 3 in MS61 with only 19 finer and a total of only 37 coins for the issue.
Estimated Value $500 - 650.
