Description

1881 Half Eagle, PR63 Ultra Cameo
Only Two Designated

1881 $5 PR63 Ultra Cameo NGC. JD-1, R.6. Although this is the 16th appearance of an 1881 proof half eagle in the last three decades of our auctions, it is the first example designated as a Deep or Ultra Cameo proof that we have offered since our Permanent Auction Archives were started 31 years ago. This example and another certified PR65 Ultra Cameo are the only two pieces that are assigned that important designation at NGC (12/23). Across the country, PCGS has never handled a Deep Cameo proof 1881 half eagle. This Select proof has exquisite contrast. The sharply detailed devices are frosty and brilliant, and the fields are deeply mirrored. Faint hairlines on the obverse are all that separate this coin from a higher numerical grade.(Registry values: P3)
