- 1880 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-102. Type II Reverse. Proof-64+ (PCGS).
Swaths of lovely iridescent toning sweep over glassy surfaces. This 1880 Proof half dollar is in double demand -- first as a wonderful Choice Proof and second because related circulation strikes have such a low mintage. The reason for the last is that after silver coins reached parity with Legal Tender notes on April 20, 1876, large quantities of hoarded pieces came on the market. There was such a glut of these that beginning in 1879 the Mint cut back production of new issues to very low levels, which continued for the remainder of the Liberty Seated series. The Proofs from 1879 to 1891 make a nice collection within a collection if you are seeking a new specialty.
Provenance: From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911.
