Description
1878 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
This fully original, expertly preserved Gem exhibits warm halos of steel-blue, reddish-apricot and champagne-pink iridescence around virtually untoned centers. Direct viewing angles call forth delightful reflectivity in the fields that forms a splendid backdrop to fully impressed, frosty devices. With a generous mintage of 800 pieces and a good rate of survival, the 1878 is not a major rarity among Proof Liberty Seated half dollars. As with all issues of this type, however, it is a conditionally challenging date with few survivors grading Proof-65 or finer, as here.
PCGS# 86439. NGC ID: 27UD.
PCGS Population: 10; 4 finer in this category (Proof-68 Cameo finest). CAC Population: 5; 1.
Estimate: $5200
