1868 Liberty Seated Half Dime. Proof-64 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
This beautiful brilliant Deep Cameo Proof offers highly reflective fields and sharp frosty devices. The cameo contrast is generous and there are scattered traces of die polishing (as made) on both sides. Thoroughly delightful and worthy of careful consideration. It was not easy for numismatists to order Proof coins from the Mint in 1868. The Treasury Department would not accept Legal Tender Notes at face value, and collectors had to pay a sharp premium or else remit in gold coins.
