Description:
This beautiful 1870 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, graded PR64 by PCGS, is a visually striking example of 19th-century American coinage. Cataloged as WB-101, it features dramatic multicolored toning and exceptional craftsmanship. Adding to its provenance and allure, this piece hails from the renowned Teich Family Collection, known for its selection of high-quality numismatic treasures.
The surfaces of this Choice Proof half dollar are spectacularly toned, with vivid ocean-blue, plum-red, and peach-gold hues blanketing both the obverse and reverse.
