Description:
Very Rare Choice Proof 1855/54 Half
Attractively Toned, FS-301, WB-102
1855/54 50C PR64 PCGS. FS-301, formerly FS-005, WB-102. The 1855/54 is very rare in proof format. Heritage recently conducted extensive pedigree research for the proof issue, published under lot 2398 in our 2008 Central States Signature, and located seven different examples. The present piece does not match any of those, and thus becomes the eighth known proof. Future pedigree researches should note two pinpoint spots beneath the beak, and mint-made roller marks on the softly impressed star 7. The strike is otherwise very sharp.
This is a lovely Gem with golden-brown, jade-green, and gunmetal-gray toning. Each side has a few minute lintmarks, as produced, but no abrasions are present. All pre-1858 proof halves are rare, and its overdate status only enhances its importance. Population: 2 in 64, 1 finer (8/08).
From The Sundance Collection. (#6409)
