Lot Description

Stunning Superb Gem Cameo Proof 1865 Half Dollar 1865 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC). The toning is exceptional, not only for its colors of teal, rose and gold, but for its perfect arrangement. Furthermore, the surfaces are Superb, with virtually no signs of handling. The strike is bold throughout, and the mirror fields retain their full glassy reflectivity. From a mintage of 500 pieces, this is certainly one of the prettiest and technically one of the finest. No Ultra Cameo coins have been graded by NGC at this level or finer, confirming that this is one of the finest examples known today. PCGS# 86419. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. NGC Census: 3; none finer within the Cameo designation.
