1885 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo with star. Nice golden and blue toning around the edges. Only 930 proofs minted. A memorable 1885 Proof from both a technical standpoint and in terms of visual impact. Both sides are deeply mirrored. Both sides display strong cameo contrast. The obverse is shows an ellipse of crimson, gold and blue toning brilliance through the periphery courtesy of dramatic shades of color in this area. Only slightly less eye catching is the similarly cameoed reverse, being framed in deep russet and rose toning. Just a remarkable Proof 67 easily surpassing the five-figure potential of coins of this caliber. Pop 1; finest graded proof cameo.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 15,000.
