Proof Seated Half Dollars
1885 50C PR64 PCGS. Flashes of brilliance mingle with dappled cobalt-blue, rose, crimson, and gold patina on this well-preserved near-Gem proof. Like its contemporaries, the 1885 enjoys added date pressure because of the issue's low total mintage. The Mint satisfied collector demand by striking 930 proofs in 1885, plus 5,200 circulation strikes.
