Proof Seated Half Dollars
1882 50C PR65 Cameo NGC. A halo of honey-gold toning frames the brilliant-white centers of this boldly contrasted late-series half. Circulation strikes of the low-mintage 1882 issue outnumbered proofs 4 to 1 when struck, but today proofs far outnumber business-strike survivors in Gem or finer grades. The present proof is offers dazzling eye appeal with nearly flawless fields and razor-sharp frosted motifs. Census: 17 in 65 Cameo, 25 finer (2/17).
