Lot 1024
1866 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. With motto. PCGS graded Proof 66. Bullseye blue and gold toning on the obverse with a large center white area, less toning on the reverse. A few very minor hairlines can be seen with a glass and a strong light, but no other handling marks are seen. This is the (slightly) recut date variety. PCGS notes in their Population Report that 4 have been graded this high, with none graded higher. A frosty delight for the connoisseur.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased in a group from B. Max Mehl on April 2, 1945 for $8.00.
