1863 50C J-342 PR (PCGS#60504)

The Regency Auction 48

详细说明: FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III The absolute FINEST KNOWN example 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 0, NGC 1. While this coin sold in the 2017 ANA auction for $14,100, in our opinion, this coin is nicer than the Simpson coin that sold in January 2021 as a PCGS PR67 CAM CAC for $20,400. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $22,500. Good luck, this coin is bound to please a whole host of pattern or Liberty Seated aficionados, and bidding will be as intense as the cameo contrast! Cert. Number 3127740044 PCGS # 60504
