Lot 1023
1865 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 66. This one is nearly off the charts. Milky white toning with mottled green and gold around the obverse periphery, the reverse toning more organized with blue and gold around the rim, blazing white at the centers. Hairlines, if any, are faint. Handling marks are virtually non existent. Identifiable by a tiny mark on the cap. Fully struck, and outstanding in every way. We note that PCGS has graded just 8 this high, with none graded higher! Don't miss this one if you want a spectacular example for your set of this scarce proof issue.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased in a group from B. Max Mehl on April 2, 1945 for $12.50.
