Proof Seated Half Dollars
1864 50C PR66 PCGS. CAC. WB-101. The proof 1864 Seated Liberty half dollar had a small mintage of just 470 pieces, few of which survive in Gem or finer condition. At the PR66 level, PCGS has encapsulated only six non-Cameo pieces, with only a single PR67 coin numerically finer; NGC also shows six coins in this grade (one in PR66 ★), but with two numerically finer (3/17). The present Premium Gem exhibits razor-sharp, satiny devices set against deeply mirrored fields that show blended aquamarine, lavender, and mint-gold toning. Close examination fails to reveal any contact marks or detracting hairlines, and both sides showcase subtle, undesignated field-motif contrast.
