Description
1886 Seated Half Dollar, PR68
The Finest-Known Example
1886 50C PR68 NGC. WB-101. This late date in the Seated
Liberty series saw a low total mintage of 5,886 pieces, 886 of
which were proofs. Because so few of the business strikes were
saved, proof examples from this year are more available than coins
struck for circulation, and frequently targeted by type collectors
over their business strike counterparts.This beautiful specimen is the finest-known example of the date, regardless of proof or business strike status; with no other coins graded at the 68 level by either of the major services. It is meticulously detailed throughout, with gorgeous blended toning in hues of mint-green, lilac, yellow-gold, and deep purple. The surfaces are exquisitely preserved and free of even the tiniest mark or distraction. Census: 1 in 68, 0 finer (7/14).
