Around 600 1868 Liberty Seated half dollars were struck in Proof
condition; only about 500 of these coins survive and most do not exhibit the
contrast seen on the present coin. Most are in grades of Proof-65 and lower,
frequently without the Cameo designation. The featured coin is being offered as
Lot
4092 in the Rarities Night session of Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ August 2021
Official Auction of the ANA World’s Fair of Money.
Coins in Motion seeks to enable collectors, bidders, and
consignors to accurately appreciate how Stack’s Bowers Galleries coins look in
hand. Ultra-high resolution animations depict how luster moves over the coin’s
surfaces, while the rotating motion allows for any possible imperfections to be
revealed. Stack’s Bowers Galleries is proud to have acquired Coins in Motion.
