FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III Legend Rare Coin Auctions is honored to offer this EXCESSIVELY RARE and highly desirable early date Proof Seated Liberty half dollar. Perhaps only FOUR examples are estimated to have been struck, and today, PCGS CoinFacts enumerates five examples, one of which has a questionable Proof status. Very flashy fields retain a bold mirrored reflection. There are a number of directional hairlines, lightly wiped perhaps ages ago. Steely silver coloration gives this nearly CHOICE specimen a nice look. Traces of pale gold can be found when rotating the surfaces in a light. Razor sharp in definition, the devices are crisp and have a rich frost. Of the examples enumerated by PCGS CoinFacts, one has a questionable Proof status and one is permanently impounded in the Bibliotheque Nationale Library Collection in France. This coin is #4 on the Census and is Ex Stack's, October 1996, lot 300; George "Buddy" Byers Collection, Stack's, October 2006, lot 1113; Heritage, January 2015, lot 4141; Heritage, February 2016, lot 3238; Heritage, February 2019, lot 3615; our consignor. This is thought to be the coin that Marc Emory discovered in Europe in 1981. PCGS 1, NGC 2. This coin is one of the NGC-graded coins having just recently been submitted for crossover. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $120,000 and A PCGS PR63 sold in 2002 for $115,000. This is a VERY important coin, excessively RARE and worthy of a very advanced cabinet of Proof Seated Liberty half dollars. Do not let this opportunity pass you by, who knows when this will be available again! Good luck! Cert. Number 42380486 PCGS # 6381
