1860 Seated Liberty Half Dollar. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC).
A very important proof type coin from the No Motto Seated Half Dollar series, this piece is among the most beautiful representatives of the design that we have handled in recent memory. Both sides are veiled in original, slightly mottled, pinkish-copper iridescence. There are also blushes of powder-blue tinting here and there around the obverse periphery, and a few areas of silvery near brilliance are intermingled over the surfaces on both sides. Satiny in sheen with crisp striking detail, the devices contrast nicely with mirror-finish fields. Grade-limiting blemishes are not seen, and we do not hesitate to label this coin as one of the finest proof 1860 Seated Halves extant.
Proofs of this Half Dollar type are anything but common in today's market, particularly in high grades. The pre-1858 issues are exceedingly rare, while the 1859-1865 deliveries are not offered with any degree of regularity.
Combined PCGS and NGC Population: only 6; and none are finer with any finish.
