Description
1857 Seated Half Dollar, PR63
Only 30 to 40 Proofs Known
1857 50C PR63 PCGS. Proofs were struck on-demand in 1857,
and the number of specimens coined went unrecorded. Breen wrote of
this Seated half dollar issue in his 1989 Proof
Encyclopedia: "Except for the small cent, probably the most
difficult denomination of the year." He estimated that 20 to 25
proofs were known, while PCGS now proposes that 30 to 40 proofs
survive. This Select proof features a layer of teal-gray toning
with elements of rose and violet. Each side is remarkably smooth
for the grade with few signs of contact. A collectible example from
an exceedingly elusive proof emission. Population: 16 in 63, 18
finer (5/16).Ex: Pre-Long Beach (Superior, 10/2000), lot 4382.
