Description
1878 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-63 Deep Cameo (PCGS).
An attractive Choice example of a deeply cameoed Proof 1878 half dollar. Barely toned in pale champagne-gold, the surfaces exhibit awesome contrast between heavily frosted devices and deeply reflective fields. Carefully preserved with not much separating it from a higher numeric grade. With a generous mintage of 800 pieces and a good rate of survival, the 1878 is not a major rarity among Proof Liberty Seated half dollars. As with all issues of this type, however, it is a conditionally challenging date. Certified Deep Cameo specimens, as here, are phenomenal strike rarities that can be counted on one hand.
PCGS# 96439. NGC ID: 27UD.
PCGS Population: 1; just 3 are finer (Proof-64+ DC finest).
From the Arlington Collection.
