Description

1899 Half Dollar, MS65 Prooflike
Strong Field / Device Contrast

1899 50C MS65 Prooflike NGC. As first glance this coin could easily pass for a true proof, so deep and well-mirrored is the reflectivity. The centers are uniformly silver-white on both sides, but the color melds into pleasing cherry-red hues around the rims on both sides. This fully struck piece certainly appears high-end for the assigned grade. NGC has only certified three 1899 half dollars as Prooflike, one in MS62 and one other as MS65, placing this piece as tied for finest (9/18).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2009), lot 801, where it brought $6,325.
