1868 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Radiant and pearly luster shines through on the central elements, framed by a lovely iridescence of golden bronze and indigo color near the rims. The devices are frosted in satiny luster and starkly contrast the deep reflectivity in the fields. Pleasantly original and free of any notable blemishes. <p>The Proof 1868 half dollar presents an incredible challenge at the highest levels. 600 were struck shortly after the end of the Civil War and only about 500 remain for collectors in all conditions. The vast majority of these are in grades of Proof-65 or lower and very few exhibit any degree of contrast. At Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS) CAC, this is one of the most exceptional examples known and only 1 has been graded finer across all designations. Approval by CAC surely emphasizes this superior quality. Ex Heritages sale of the Daryl J. Haynor Collection, August 2011, lot 7185.
