Description:

Spectacular 1865 Half Dollar, PR67 Cameo

1865 50C PR67 Cameo NGC. In the introduction to April 1865: The Month That Saved America, author Jay Winik states that "... what emerges from the panorama of April 1865 is that the whole of our national history could have been altered but for a few decisions, a quirk of fate, a sudden shift in luck." The year that marked the end of the Civil War was also the last year No Motto proof half dollars were minted. This example displays remarkable toning. Splashes of aquamarine and sky-blue near the obverse rim, outlined by copper and mahogany to the inside, focus attention to the dove-gray center. The same blues and greens form a toning halo on the reverse, rimmed on the inside by dark copper that fades to an untoned silver-gray center. NGC has certified just 33 1865 Cameo proofs, with this piece tied with only one other at the Superb Gem level, and none finer (8/08).
From The Sundance Collection. (#86419)
