Description
1951 Half Dollar, PR67+ Deep Cameo
An Unprecedented Offering
Single Finest Certified
1951 50C PR67+ Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Blue Ocean. This
could very well be the pinnacle of collecting for an advanced
Franklin half dollar proof specialist. Like the 1950, this date is
usually found with low contrast. Cameo representatives are very
scarce, and profoundly contrasted Deep Cameo proofs are extremely
rare. Rick Tomaska details the captivating story of his first
encounter with a 1951 Deep Cameo half dollar at a 1984 Long Beach
show: "I did a double take, as it was a stunning cameo, with
exceptional snow-white frost and very deep fields. I looked closer,
and was dumbfounded when I noticed the date. It wasn't a 1956, a
1963, or even a rarer 1954. It was a 1951, the most amazing cameo
1951 I had ever seen." Just to put this PR67+ Deep Cameo piece into
perspective, the coin Tomaska talks about resided in a PR66 Ultra
Cameo NGC holder in 2011. This is the absolute finest example
available to collectors. PCGS has seen two Superb Gems, but this is
the only one with a Plus designation. NGC reports another six
coins, none with an added Plus (6/17). The green CAC approval
sticker confirms the unprecedented quality of this offering.Each side is utterly pristine with seemingly depthless mirrors and a thick layer of frost over the devices. Die polish lines on Franklin's head are typically found on the best-contrasted examples of this elusive second-year issue. Specialists are encouraged to bid accordingly for the finest 1951 Franklin half dollar proof ever offered at auction.

Buyer's Premium per Lot:
17.5% of the successful bid (minimum $19) per lot.
The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.
