The Regency Auction 44

详细说明: Ex Simpson Collection, as noted on the insert. This is the SINGLE FINEST PCGS graded Proof 1885 half dollar in the Cameo designation and the highest graded CAC coin in ANY designation. Deep, beaming mirrors are ultra reflective and very high end quality. The mirrors are intense with a blinding flash. The devices are sharply struck and have a thick frost that stands out, imparting the bold cameo contrast. Both sides are framed by a ring of gold that deepens to a cobalt and violet. The surfaces are FLAWLESS and this is a beast! We just love this monster Proof Seated half. Only 930 Proofs were struck. PCGS 1, NGC 9, CAC 2. There are NONE finer. This coin brought $13,200 in September 2020 and that seems very cheap for one of the FINEST KNOWN examples from a tiny mintage. We think this coin should bring closer to the Collectors Universe value of $17,500. A great type coin or prize for the collector working on the FINEST Proof Seated half dollar set. It is a WORLD CLASS piece that will see very strong bidding. Cert. Number 40323393 PCGS # 86446.00
