Captivating 1857 Half Dime, PR67 ★ Cameo
The Finest Known

1857 H10C PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. Ex: P. Kaufman. The 1857 Cameo proof half dime in the Kaufman collection is the finest known, and is the only example given NGC's coveted Star designation. It pedigrees to the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. collection, although this is not indicated on the NGC insert.
The frosty design elements appear to float over the deeply mirrored, watery fields, confirming the Cameo designation. This field-motif variance is apparent regardless of the angle from which the coin is observed. An attentive strike imparts complete delineation to the design features, and close examination under a loupe reveals absolutely no imperfections. This captivating piece projects breathtaking eye appeal.
Ex: Mumford Collection (New York Stamp and Coin Co., 4/1896); J.M. Clapp. Clapp Estate, 1942; Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 1000.
