Proof Seated Half Dollar, 1866 50C Motto PR66
Cameo NGC |
|
 |
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 and
the first Motto year was particularly vulnerable
to melting or loss.
Soft
golden and honey-brown colors bathe the borders
of this exquisitely struck Gem. Heavy cameo
frost provides obvious contrast with the
striated and reflective fields. A scant 725
proofs were struck, not including the unique No
Motto proof that was stolen at gunpoint from the
DuPont family in 1967 and never recovered. |
