Lot 1457
1878 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. Aesthetically tempting, as fine a looking 1878 Proof with boldness as you are apt to see, and all the while bristling with bright mint bloom, nothing in the way of toning. Far from the normal example of this issue where weakness often occurs on the stars, Liberty's head, and on portions of the eagle, this shows needle-sharp detail throughout with no signs of weakness, none whatsoever. Rather than maintain an aloof reserve on the subject of this piece, we support and egg-on a convincing bid from all interested parties. 800 Proofs struck. Pop 22; 15 finer; 13 in 66; 1 in 67; 1 in 68. (PCGS # 6439) .
Estimated Value $2,700 - 2,800.
