Magnificent Superb Gem 1888 Half Dollar 1888 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-67 (NGC). Of the 12,000 circulation strike Liberty Seated halves delivered in 1888, this colorful Superb Gem must surely be among the most enchanting survivors. A somewhat irregular mixture of russet and sunset-orange deepens and changes to cobalt blue at the borders. Otherwise, satiny luster thins to modest hints of brightness in the fields. Accuracy alone compels us to mention a bit of striking softness at the upper-obverse border, but the balance of the features are boldly, if not sharply defined. Overall smooth and nearly in the pristine category, this expertly preserved example would serve as a centerpiece in any top-quality collection. PCGS# 6370. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier ex: Good River Collection, per our consignor. NGC Census: 9 in 67; none finer.
