详细说明

A very rare variant to the New Rochelle half dollar. During the production run, mint employees struck 50 examples on polished planchets after polishing the dies. What keeps them from being full PROOFS, is that each coin was struck only once, rather than two or more times as required for striking proofs. As expected for the 67 grade level, this coin has no hairlines, ticks, marks or carbon spotting. The strike is full and the fields are fully reflective and prooflike and display rich mirrors. The eye appeal is superb! PCGS 9, NGC 4, CAC 9. Only 2 are graded SP67+ and there is only one SP68 finer. We sold a PCGS SP67 without CAC sticker in our September 2016 Regency Auction for $17,625. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $20,000. While overall, the classic commemorative market has shown softness in the last few years, Specimen and Proof strikings have done well and are interesting pieces for the advanced, specialist collectors. Opportunity knocks loudly here. Cert. Number 82603422 PCGS # 99335
