Lot 2079
1855 Liberty Seated Half Dime. PCGS graded Proof 64 Premium Quality. Although mintages were not recorded for proof issues, it is believed that 20 were struck. This particular one is toned deep blue, gray and gold, and carries all of Breen's diagnostics for a proof of this date. Examination will note a few small lint marks through the first few stars, and a small cluster of lint marks on the reverse at the A of HALF.As a type coin, these early with arrows pieces are extremely rare in proof, and it is likely that this piece will bring a very strong price. PCGS has graded 4 this high, with just 2 graded higher.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500.
