1888 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Classic Liberty Era Label. Proof-68 Ultra Cameo (NGC).
The incredible surfaces of this 1888 half dollar are as bright and fresh as the day the coin was struck. It displays not only full, razor sharp striking detail, but also captivating ultra cameo contrast between the fields and devices. Fully brilliant allowing ready appreciation of these desirable attributes. In addition, the surfaces are nice and problem free -- well deserving of the assigned grade. Extraordinary! The entire mintage for the year in Proof halted after 832 pieces slid down the coining chute. This is arguably the finest known Proof 1888 half dollar and offers sensational quality and eye appeal. It is a majestic coin destined to be the centerpiece of an advanced collection.
