1872 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-66 (PCGS). Secure Holder.A vivid rainbow iridescence blooms in the fields of this beautiful Gem Proof, accenting the original peach patina that graces the central devices. Watery and reflective, the fields contrast considerably against the design elements, emphasizing the overall superior preservation. Well struck and virtually untouched, this piece ranks among the finest example know. PCGS has graded only 3 examples at the Proof-66 level and just 2 rank finer in this category. As one of 950 Proof half dollars struck for the year, this is a significant opportunity for collectors of Liberty Seated coinage or 19th Century Proofs.
