Losbeschreibung

This is the finest certified non-Cameo designated Proof 1912 half dollar to have met with CAC approval, and it is one of the most well-known and highly respected coins extant from a mintage of 700 pieces for the issue. Ranked #2 in the author's list of "Significant Examples," this is also the plate coin for the issue in the 2025 volume in the reference series <em>United States Proof Coins</em> by John W. Dannreuther. Simply a delight to behold, the universally reflective surfaces are dressed in a rich mottling of iridescent sunset-orange, antique gold, powder blue, olive-copper and champagne-pink toning. Both the fullness of strike and pristine appearance of both sides are as one should expect for the method of manufacture and assigned grade, respectively. The Simpson and Young-Dakota provenances further confirm the desirability of this awe-inspiring survivor of both the type and issue.
