Description

Gem Proof 1860 Seated Liberty Half Dollar
Scarce Pre-Civil War Issue

1860 50C PR65 NGC. Type Two Reverse. Although Mint records state 1,000 proofs were struck, that figure is misleading, since a significant portion of the initial mintage went unsold and was eventually melted by the Treasury. The 1860 is scarcer than several Civil War dates with lower proof mintages. This is a well struck Gem that displays brilliant mirrored fields and frosty devices. Census: 14 in 65, 20 finer (7/10).

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
