Lot 1405
1856. PCGS graded Proof 63. With an estimated 20 to 25 pieces known, Breen speculated the 1856 proof Seated Liberty half dollar was the rarest denomination of the year. The present coin shows full details in all areas except several of the right side obverse stars and the left (facing) eagle's leg and talon. The fields are slightly subdued with just a hint of light golden patina that presents a slightly streaky appearance, especially on the reverse. Pop 8; 5 finer, 4 in 64, 1 in 65 (PCGS # 6410) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
