An essentially brilliant Premium Gem that benefits from thickly iced devices and smooth, reflective fields. The strike is needle-sharp at the borders. A stingy 800 proofs were struck. The grade is surprisingly rare as the population in 67 Cameo is only 2, there are just a few cameos graded in both services.This is quite possibly the most beautiful proof 1878 Seated Half that I have ever seen. The surfaces are free of both toning and grade-limiting hairlines with a radiant appearance. Fully struck throughout, the frosty finished devices contrast boldly with the deep, glassy fields.

Of those proofs, just a few dozen have been designated as Cameo by either NGC or PCGS. And of those Cameos, NGC and PCGS have combined to certify5 66's and five 67's, with none finer (7/08). While 1884 proof half dollars were preserved at a high rate, it is clear that this coin stands strong among the elite not only for the date and series, but for the type. That being the case, general collectors and series enthusiasts alike should look at this Superb Gem Cameo as a unique opportunity to own a conditional rarity. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and the fields deeply reflective. This reflectivity sets up a strong cameo contrast against the frosted devices on each side. An essentially flawless Superb Gem.Certification No. 1716025-082 NGC   « Less
