Proof Seated Half Dollars
1872 50C PR66 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. The attractive toning patterns on the obverse and reverse help identify this Premium Gem proof as the former Eliasberg coin, an attribution confirmed by the prior generation NGC holder. Mirrored fields are moderately toned in attractive shades of champagne-gold and cerulean-blue, with violet accents on the reverse. The frosted motifs show a full strike and discernible contrast with the glassy fields. This is a lovely proof coin with an important pedigree, one that easily conveys its careful preservation over the past 145 years. Census: 9 in 66, 3 finer (2/17).
Ex: William Dickinson Collection (Chapman Brothers, 3/1894); J.M. Clapp; John H. Clapp. Clapp Estate, 1942, to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; unidentified private collections.
