Description
Spectacular Seated Half Dollar
1866 Motto, PR67 Cameo
1866 50C Motto PR67 Cameo PCGS. Only 725 proof Seated
Liberty half dollars were minted in 1866, the first year to include
the motto IN GOD WE TRUST as part of the reverse design. Proofs are
seldom encountered today, but may still be more available than Mint
State business strikes.The deeply mirrored fields contrast boldly with the sharply detailed, frosty devices to produce the coveted cameo effect. Peripheral bright blue toning surrounds a slightly off-center area of brilliance. Under magnification, some striations are observed in the fields. NGC has certified just two proof examples at the Superb Gem Cameo level, with one finer; while PCGS has graded only one specimen in PR67 Cameo (6/09).
