The Regency Auction 53

详细说明: What a spectacular Proof Liberty Head half eagle! This coin has many distinct claims to a GEM grade, we have zero doubt in the old days, it would have been called a GEM. Only 154 Proofs were struck using a single pair of dies, and current survival estimates range from about 90-110 known. Brilliant, highly reflective golden surfaces gleam and beam from all over. The mirrors are sleek and smooth, devoid of any lines or any kind of marks visible to the aided or unaided eye. The details show razor sharp definition and the richness of the brilliance shines off of the satiny texture of the devices. The reverse shows a near-Cameo like contrast adding to the outstanding visual allure! WOW! Only 154 Proofs were struck. PCGS 14, NGC 9, CAC 2. This is the SOLE PR64+ graded in the designation. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $22,500. While this coin recently sold for $20,400, it should be noted that no non-CAM GEM example has sold since 2016! This is a stunning Proof type coin or a perfect example for your set of 20th century Proof gold. Either way, it will see strong bidding. Good luck. Cert. Number 25788310 PCGS # 8498
