Lot 1047
1884 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 67. Here is one of the highest grade proofs from this stunning and memorable run from the Benson collection. The surfaces are toned with perfect sea blue at the rims, which change to reddish gold then gold, while the centers remain hazy white. Examination will note virtually no signs of contact, not even hairlines to distract the eye! One tiny speck left of the left wing of the eagle. As near to perfect as we can imagine, check it out if you love quality. PCGS has graded just 2 this high, with a single coin graded higher from the original mintage of 875 coins. If you want one of the best, bid high.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
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.
