Proof Seated Half Dollars
1885 50C PR66+ PCGS. Collectors seeking a high-end example of the 1885 proof half dollar will encounter a challenge. This Plus-graded Premium Gem is conditionally rare, and finer pieces are exceedingly so. The strike is a trifle soft on Liberty's temple and the two adjacent stars, but the remaining design elements are sharp. This glimmering proof displays uniform lavender-gray and aquamarine toning. Population: 19 in 66 (5 in 66+), 3 finer (11/16).
