1887 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC).

Bold contrast between the fields and devices is seen at all angles. There are no grade limiting or otherwise significant marks to distract the eye. The surfaces are lightly toned in pastel-golden shades, however, the coin initially presents as brilliant. A warm and inviting Superb Gem survivor from a Proof mintage of just 710 pieces. Presently, this one is tied with five others as the finest known at NGC in the Cameo category.
