Not Sold Description
1845 Half Dime, PR64
Only Seven Known Proofs
1845 H10C PR64 PCGS. CAC. When we offered the Phil Kaufman
specimen in January 2008, we prepared a roster of seven different
1845 half dimes. Since that time, an eighth example appeared in the
proof set from the Eric P. Newman Collection, and that coin was
graded PR65. When there are only eight examples of a rare coin in
existence, and one of those is permanently impounded in a museum,
the census rank of the remaining pieces is less a concern than the
opportunity to bid on an example. While NGC has certified nine
submissions as proof examples, PCGS has only graded three examples
including this piece and two other PR64 specimens (7/13). This
Choice proof exhibits considerable cameo contrast with deeply
mirrored fields and frosty devices beneath gorgeous gold and
iridescent toning. An impressive representative of an early proof
rarity.(Registry values: P3)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 235D, PCGS# 4421, Greysheet# 3866)
