Lot 2800
1888 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. A hint of light gold toning around the edges. Mostly untoned and a nice strike. Only 12,001 minted. A spot-free dazzler whose mint color shames just about any lesser Mint State silver coin of this year. By all accounts, 1888 is exceedingly scarce in this grade (see the following census). Sheer boldness of strike throughout would be the ideal for an 1888 as well, and this coin meets the challenge to strike completely; the design left by the rebound of the dies is in an excellent state at the centers as well as the legends and date. Pop 13; 9 finer (PCGS # 6370) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
