Lot 2826
1862 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66. Well struck with natural mottled multi-color toning on both sides. Only 550 Proofs minted. The relative unavailability of gem quality business strike 1862 Seated Half Dollars (253,000 pieces produced) has given a boost to interest in the top-notch Proofs. Likewise, survivors from the 550-coin Proof delivery have enjoyed constant demand even as market moods have fluctuated between the various collecting areas such as Type versus Rare Dates or Die Varieties. At the PR66 level of preservation, however, there can be no debate about the rarity, desirability, or importance of the 1862 Half Dollar. Fully brought up throughout. Pop 8; 3 finer, 1 in 66 Star, 2 in 67.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
