Lot 1441
1884. PCGS graded Proof 65. A colorfully toned finish to both sides results in pools of electric-blue overall with a small area of lilac-pink on the reverse. A satiny texture is noted on the central devices, nearly enough to suggest a Cameo designation. The delicate surfaces are uncommonly smooth for a proof half dollar of this type. The low mintage (875 proofs and just 4,400 business strikes) 1884 is one of the more eagerly sought Liberty Seated half dollar dates for high grade type purposes. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Pop 20; 17 finer, 14 in 66, 2 in 67, 1 in 68 (PCGS # 6445) .
Estimated Value $2,800 - 2,900.
