1863 50C J-342, CAM PR (PCGS#503305)

The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: Clearly one of the FINEST KNOWN examples of this important and RARE "transitional" pattern half dollar. Struck using the regular Proof 1863 die and the regular 1866 with Motto die, these were actually struck in the late 1860s or early 1870s for collectors and sold in sets. Struck in silver with a reeded edge, the Judd-342 is listed as a Low Rarity-7, with perhaps 7-12 known in all grades. This black and white deeply mirrored and contrasted Cameo Proof is SUPERB in its quality and eye appeal. The fields are blindingly reflective and possess a bold, depth of clarity that is simply stunning. The devices, with a sharp strike and thick mint frost stand out in stark contrast to the essentially flawless mirrors. The eye appeal is amazing!. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin was offered as an NGC PR67+* CAM in its last appearances, and we like this one better than the Simpson PR67 CAM CAC that sold in January 2021 for $20,400. Bound for a world class pattern collection, do not let it get away! Cert. Number 44397803 PCGS # 503305
