Description du lot

Very few survivors of this 8,808-piece Proof half dollar issue are as expertly and attractively preserved as this upper end Ultra Gem. Brilliant and sparkling-white in appearance, both sides exhibit crisp strike detail from the rims to the centers. A bit more obtainable than the Proof 1938, the Proof 1939 is usually offered in grades that range from Proof-64 through Proof-67. Proof-68s are moderately rare, but enough are around that buying opportunities for such coins usually come along several times each tear. The same, however, cannot be said for higher-graded specimens. Tied for CC#2 behind a single Proof-69 at this service, this gorgeous NGC Proof-68+ is among the finest obtainable for today's collectors.
