A glorious, colorful GEM Proof with a fabulous look! Totally original with a wonderfully dappled mélange of color that really pops in the light. Watery reflective fields accent the eye arresting blend of color. Sharply struck up, the definition is better than often encountered and the surfaces are exceptionally clean and free of any distractions. The late date Seated Liberty half dollar series makes for a great short set for the collector. The business strikes, like the Proofs were all struck in Philadelphia, and from 1879 on, the mintages for circulation were tiny, mostly lower than 10,000. In the days before Registry Sets, many collectors looking to include high grade examples in their sets, chose Proofs. Ex a New England Museum, Stack's Bowers, May 2013, lot 415; Heritage, FUN Auction, January 2014, lot 4594; Dr. Stephen Davidson Collection, Legend Rare Coin Auctions' Regency Auction 49, December 2021, lot 134; our consignor. Only 930 Proofs were struck. PCGS 30, NGC 29, CAC 10. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $3,150 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $2,690. We sold the two most recent examples, realizing $2,233 in September 2021 and $2,468 in December 2021. Scarce finer. Good luck. Cert. Number 27238725 PCGS # 6446
