The Regency Auction 47

详细说明: Tied for second FINEST graded, this DEEP CAMEO GEM offers a SUPERB eye appeal and spectacular quality for the collector who demands the absolute BEST! Only 83 Proofs were struck for collectors, of which, perhaps 40-55 are known today in all grades, including a number of impaired pieces. Coins this well preserved are EXCESSIVELY RARE! Incredibly deep mirrors beam from all over. The fields are ultra reflective and have a wonderful orange-peel texture visible under a glass. The cameo contrast is intense with the fields flashy and "black" with the devices wonderfully frosted and standing out boldly. A strong glass reveals a couple of mint made planchet flakes, and there are some microscopic lines that appear only at certain angles, and only visible with a very strong glass. WOW does this coin stand out boldly when you look at it. The eye appeal is spectacular! Only 83 Proofs were struck. PCGS 3, NGC 5, CAC 4. NO CAC-approved example has ever sold in auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $70,000 and unpriced in the CAC CPG. Just a single PR66+ DCAM is graded finer at PCGS. This monster Proof half eagle is an AMAZING coin, worthy of a world class cabinet! Cert. Number 41055397 PCGS # 98492.00
