A difficult date to locate in high grades, and this attractive example checks all the boxes. Just 580,000 pieces were minted making it a better date for the series. Only five others have been graded at this lofty level and none are graded higher! A lovely true gem with two vastly different sides. The obverse is naturally toned with teal, orange, gold, and lavender coloration mingling together with soft swirling luster. On the other hand, the reverse is partially white with pleasing orange tones clinging to the devices illuminated with radiant, full mint bloom. Both sides are attractive in their own right and the differences make for a dynamic viewing experience. An outstanding gem and the finest example that can be procured for a competitive registry set. - Liberty Seated Half Dollar
