Description
Top-Pop Proof 1882 Half Dollar
Proof-67+ (PCGS)
1882 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. Proof-67+ (PCGS).
A stunning and original 1882 half dollar with virtually pristine surfaces. The surfaces are beautifully toned and initially reveal rich olive-copper peripheral halos around lighter rose-gray centers. When viewed with the aid of direct lighting, however, both sides light up with especially vivid undertones of pale gold, powder blue and champagne-apricot colors that have a target-like distribution from the rims to the centers. Striking detail is razor sharp throughout, and the level of preservation is outstanding to uphold the validity of the near-Ultra Gem grade from PCGS. One of only 1,100 Proofs of the date struck and among the very finest certified. It sits at the top of the PCGS Population Report in the non-Cameo category, tied with a single Proof-67+ Deep Cameo as the best seen by this service.
PCGS# 6443. NGC ID: 27UH.
PCGS Population: 1; 0 graded higher in any category, although PCGS also reports grading a specimen as Proof-67+ Deep Cameo.
