Losbeschreibung

This is an incredibly RARE Pattern Seated half dollar, struck from the regular Proof dies, in aluminum with a reeded edge. These "off-metal die trials" were struck for collectors and sold in off-metal sets. Absolutely brilliant with outstanding contrast, this coin has long been off the market and housed in a first generation PCGS encapsulation. Incredibly flashy and reflection, the fields show a bold depth of clarity to the mirrors. The surfaces are devoid of any of the flaws that are often seen on aluminum planchets. Sharply struck with thickly frosted devices that stand out in stark contrast to the fields, giving this GEM a bold CAMEO like appearance. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 1. This is NOT the coin that sold in January 2004 for $15,525. The only other example to sell is the PCGS PR66 CAM ex Denali Collection. This is an IMPORTANT opportunity that cannot be taken for granted! Cert. Number 6017502 PCGS # 61240.00
