1955 Half Dollar, PR69 Ultra Cameo
The Ultimate Registry Set Candidate

1955 50C PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC. Ex: Everest Collection. Although a few 1955 Superb Gem Ultra Cameo proofs are known, only eight such pieces earn the coveted PR69 Ultra Cameo grade (3/21). This example appears to be the plate coin in Rick Tomaska's Guide Book to Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars. Intense contrast exists between nearly flawless fields and frost-white devices, with the mirrored fields jet black when viewed at an angle. Overall, the 1955 proofs are rare with this contrast level and often have hairlines from Mint packaging that precludes a high numeric grade. This splendid example excels in both regards, tied for the Condition Census top at NGC..No PCGS Deep Cameo examples of comparable grade are reported as of (3/21). We have never offered one so certified until now.
