Lot 1041
1879 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 66. Deep smoky blue and gray toning encircles Liberty, leaving a large untoned area at the center. Similar on the reverse, but the toning is on the left side, with rose to russet elsewhere. Close study reveals no problems, and we believe this coin could grade even higher than the monumental grade already received. As always, view it for yourself and make up your own mind. PCGS has graded 13 this high, with 4 graded above, all PR-67.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased in a group of Proofs from 1859 to 1908 from James G. Macallister on October 17, 1944 for $200.00.
