Lot 1419
1872. NGC graded Proof 66+ Cameo. SWonderfully original, the obverse is ringed in deep, rich patina that passes through electric-blue and golden-russet iridescence before terminating in swirl of brilliance in the center. For the reverse we note a halo of less defined golden-brown and blue patina around the periphery that leaves much of that side untoned. Otherwise brilliant in finish, overall sharp-looking devices also possess a satiny texture that readily upholds the Cameo designation from NGC. Much scarcer as an issue than a proof Seated half dollar from the 1880s, this 1872 is also conditionally rare at this high level of preservation. Pop 1; 2 finer, 1 in 67 Star, 1 in 68 (PCGS # 86430) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
