1879 Seated Liberty Half Dollar (50c)

Richly original with album-style color, this example shows deeply prooflike fields with warm champagne centers framed by rings of cobalt, teal, and rose at the rims, all atop lively frosty luster that rotates cleanly on both sides. The strike is confident, with crisp devices and no dull spots, and the surfaces are far better than typical for the grade. Housed in an old NGC no-line fatty and blessed with a green CAC sticker, the overall eye appeal is downright captivating.
