Description
Marvelous 1892 Half Dollar
PR67 Ultra Cameo
1892 50C PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. Walter Breen writes in his
1977 proof coins reference book about the 1892 proof half dollars:
"Too many beautifully toned examples have fallen victim to cyanide
or baking soda paste. Hoarded as first year of issue but not to
such a large extent as the quarters." The hoarding is evident in
the large number of coins certified by NGC and PCGS. Deep/Ultra
Cameos, however, are few and far between, as is evident from the
mere 15 certified examples.Frosted motifs on this PR67 Ultra Cameo stand out against the deeply mirrored fields. A well executed strike results in razor sharp definition on the design elements, and just the faintest hint of gold color occasionally shows up at the margins under magnification. Both sides are impeccably preserved. A small planchet flake between the IB of PLURIBUS pedigrees the coin. Census: 3 in 67 Ultra Cameo, 0 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)
