Eastlake 19th Century Type - Proof 的钱币相册

Struck in 1871, this proof Liberty Seated half dollar was born into a world teetering between reason and reinvention. That same year, Lewis Carroll led readers Through the Looking-Glass, Darwin challenged humanity’s origins, and the Great Chicago Fire consumed a city—only to spark its rebirth. 960 proof halves were struck that year—delicate artifacts from a time when the world questioned what was real and what could be imagined. This example glows with soft golden toning that pools at the edges like lantern light in a dream—fleeting, surreal, and quietly enchanting. Its mirrored fields remain calm and reflective, preserving a sense of dignity and grace in an age shaped by beauty, chaos, and discovery.
