Description

1871 Half Dollar, PR67 Cameo
Bold White-on-Black Contrast
Tied for Finest Certified

1871 50C PR67 Cameo NGC. The 1871 Seated half dollar claims one of the most-available circulation strikes in the series, yet high-grade Cameo Proofs are rare from the 960-piece proof production. This is a brilliant, high-contrast example with thickly frosted raised devices set against silver mirrorlike fields. As expected, the strike is needle-sharp. Some angled die striations exist from the upper-right rim to the eagle and beyond, and the lower-left vertical shield stripes are incomplete -- all Mint-related anomalies on the 1871 proofs. NGC Census: 2 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (8/25).
