Country of Origin:USA Condition:Mint Year:1885 Description:1885 50C PR67* Cameo NGC. This sparkling-white Gem combines richly frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields for a bold cameo contrast. Not only are the surfaces devoid of toning, but they are also free of even a single grade-limiting hairline. A razor sharp, Gem quality representative of this low mintage issue at the end of the Seated Half Dollar series. An absolutely phenomenal proof eample from a year that has a minimal total coinage of proof and business strike half dollars of 6,130 pieces and earned the NGC coveted star.Production of half dollar business strikes dropped precipitously after the 1878, and branch mints ceased minting halves altogether. Only a few thousand were made each year, but proofs continued to be struck for sale to collectors. Still, just 930 proofs were issued in 1885 and they are scarce today.Population: 2 with 2 finer (08/09).Certification No. 3129602-003 NGC   « Less

Country of Origin:USA Condition:Ecellent Year:18981898 50C PR67 Cameo NGC. Mostly brilliant with illimitable depth of reflectivity in the fields. The heavily frosted features conjure impressive contrast with the remainder of the coin. The strike is eacting even on the forehead curls and the right shield corner. At 735 pieces it is surprising that the mintage of the proof 1898 half dollar is lower than for eample the proof 1859 half struck two generations earlier. Most likely numismatists from the turn of the century paid little attention to contemporary coinage and concentrated on colonials and early U.S. series.

Country of Origin:USA Condition:Ecellent Year:19091909 50C PR66 Cameo NGC. The fields display seemingly fathomless depth.

Country of Origin:USA Condition:Mint Year:1911 Description:1911 50C PR67 Cameo NGC. Just 682 Proof eamples of this issue were produced but we doubt that any can equal this for overall quality and eye appeal. The mintage of this issue is the seventh lowest of the series. Note the low certification number (430058-019) could be a candidate for an upgrade. Supremely preserved watery mirrors have virtually no discernible imperfections and display stark cameo contrast between untoned fields and devices.

Country of Origin:USA Condition:Ecellent Year:19121912 50C PR67 Cameo NGC. In 1912 the mintage of Proof half dollars eceeded that of the previous year by just 18 coins with eactly 700 eamples minted. The majority of those were mishandled and there seems to be little doubt that some of the coins were actually spent. All of these factors influence the surviving population and few high quality coins eist today. Indeed NGC and PCGS combined have certified a mere five pieces at this level and PCGS has seen one eample finer (6/05). This amazing and near brilliant Proof displays a few wisps of peripheral dappled light tan color. The surfaces are nearly perfect and the design elements are sharp. The only softness is to be found in the upper right (facing) corner of the shield. This super Gem is the finest possible coin the connoisseur could possibly hope for. It is a coin not only for the advanced date collector or the collector of coins by design type but it is also for the numismatist who simply enjoys objects of etreme beauty.   « Less

Country of Origin:USA Condition:Mint Year:1913 Description:1913 50C PR66 Cameo NGC. A captivating specimen, this Superb Gem Barber Half is untoned with radiant, silver-white surfaces. The degree of field-to-device contrast is remarkable for an issue that is usually offered with an all-brilliant finish, and the validity of the Cameo designation from NGC is assured in our minds. Razor-sharp striking detail and a pristine sheen further enhance already memorable eye appeal. An important strike and condition rarity in its own right, this coin is of further significance given the low-mintage status of the business strike 1913 Half Dollar. Population 3 in 66 cameo, 2 in 67 cameo, 2 finer. Certification No. NGC 115654-001   « Less
