1864 $5 PR 64 Cameo NGC. Like the similarly dated proof quarter eagle that we are also offering in this sale, the Philadelphia Mint melted many of the 50 proof 1864 half eagles that it originally produced. Equally as rare as the other proof half eagles from the Civil War era, this coin possesses eye appeal that is superior to even the near-Gem level. The seemingly bottomless fields appear to swallow every ray of light that falls upon the surfaces. The devices, on the other hand, are generously draped in frosty luster that accents the razor sharp definition. There are no mentionable post-production distractions, but the obverse field behind Liberty's portrait reveals a few areas of roughness (as produced) that should serve as worthwhile pedigree markers.

Auction 402 | Lot 1933 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1864 $5 PR63 Cameo NGC. Despite myriad abrasions in the fields, this is a dynamic proof with excellent contrast and sharp design features. Both sides are bright yellow with fully lustrous devices and excellent contrast. Faint blue-gray color appears in a thin band across the left side of the reverse, representing an imperfect alloy mix. Just 50 proofs were made, all on February 11 of that year. In addition to the limited quantity of proofs, a meager business strike mintage totaled just 4,170 coins. In his Proof Encyclopedia, Breen identified 12 examples, but suggested that some duplication may exist. Possibly as many as 20 proofs of this date survive, although the actual number may be smaller.
