Proof Seated half for my Type set

I just picked up this wonderful 1884 Seated half from Leo Frese from his website. This was the first time I did business with Leo, but it isn't likely be the last if he can find more coins like this one. The coin is graded PCGS PR66. It has just enough frost to make you think it might be a cameo, but it did not get the designation, so I was forced to pay less for it. image The real story is the pastel toning, which is just completely undisturbed by contact marks or fingerprints and is a little more brightly colored than you'd guess from the image. The coin meets my standards for a PR66, as it does not have any distractions that bother me on either side, and the few hairlines I can find were trivial in nature. There are no carbon flecks to speak of. This is the first proof Seated half I have owned since 1997, and I think it will be in my Type set for quite some time.
