Lot 2942
1872 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66 Ultra Cameo. Well struck and fully white. 950 proofs minted. Likely an early strike from fresh Proof dies, judging from the details. The surfaces are bright silver, with smooth mirrors for the field topped by satin "ultra cameo" devices. The combination of the two is virtually without precedent on an 1872 Proof. This is also a well-struck example with razor-sharp details. It has no bothersome abrasions, toning spots, or points of weakness nor even a sign that quality control had lapsed the day it was made. Pop 1; 1 in 67 Ultra Cameo. NGC has graded 2 in Ultra Cameo Proofs.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
