Gorgeous 1887 Seated Half, PR65

1887 50C PR65 PCGS. Delightful patina on this Gem captures the viewer's gaze. Both sides are nicely mirrored with lustrous devices, under ivory, gold, and iridescent toning. In the late 19th century, collectors preferred proof coins for their collections, while the few circulation strikes of the 1880s mostly escaped into commerce. Mintages were low as the Mint tried to keep up with silver dollar production required by law. Today, collectors relish the chance to acquire the proof half dollars of the decade, perhaps the only opportunity to add a particular date to an advanced cabinet.
