1860 50C, CAM PR (PCGS#86414)

August 2023 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: 1860 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS). Delightful surfaces exhibit a dusting of pale champagne-apricot iridescence to a boldly cameoed finish. The Proof 1860 is much rarer than a mintage of 1,000 pieces might imply. Numismatics in the United States was still in its infancy in 1860, and the Mint's production of Proofs that year proved overly optimistic with regard to contemporary public demand. The result was that many coins remained unsold at year's end, and were eventually released into circulation. The present example has survived with exceptionally well preserved surfaces, virtually pristine, in fact. It is a coin that would do justice to the finest Proof type or date set. Provenance: From the Jerome S. Reznick Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) Metropolitan New York Numismatic Convention Sale of May 1971, lot 457. Collector tag with provenance notation included. PCGS Population: 6; 11 finer in this category (Proof-67+ Cameo finest). PCGS# 86414. NGC ID: 27TK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
