1867 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-66 Ultra Cameo (NGC). An enchanting coin that is untoned apart from the lightest trace of pale gold and smoky-silver iridescence in isolated peripheral areas. Greeted by essentially brilliant platinum-white surfaces, the viewers eye is free of focus on awe-inspiring cameo contrast between reflective fields and frosty motifs. Fully struck, as befits the method of manufacture, and free of even the most trivial post-production blemishes. A thin, shallow strike though in the obverse field just above Libertys right wrist is as made and serves as a useful identifier for this low pop strike and condition rarity.<p>The 1867 is an early Motto Liberty Seated half dollar issue with a mintage of 625 Proofs. Survivors are a bit scarcer in an absolute sense than those of the other Proof half dollars from the late 1860s and in the finest grades, as here, this is an undeniably rare issue. As one of the loveliest Proof 1867 halves that we can ever recall handling, this coin comes highly recommended for inclusion in an advanced cabinet. PCGS# 96425. NGC ID: 27U2. NGC Census: just 3 in all grades in the Ultra Cameo category - Proof-65+ Ultra Cameo, the present example in Proof-66 Ultra Cameo, and the finest at Proof-67 Ultra Cameo. The corresponding PCGS Population at the Proof-66 Deep Cameo level is 1/0. From Legend Rare Coin Auctions sale of the Boylston Collection, Part IV, February 2023 Regency Auction 57, lot 241.
