Bright Superb Gem Proof 1893 Half Dollar, Deep Cameo

1893 50C PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS. Only 792 proof Halves were struck in 1893. It is difficult to imagine a more attractive, problem-free proof than this one. The fields are unfathomably deep in their mirrored reflectivity and the devices are heavily frosted, with the coin featuring a no-questions Deep Mirror status. Original, delicate reddish-golden toning surrounds the peripheries with a slightly more intense effect on the reverse. A tiny scratch is noted on Liberty's neck near the hair ribbon, and a curious area of die polish is seen on her lips. These two factors are only mentioned to aid in future identification of this pristine piece. It is tied with one other example at PCGS as the finest certified Deep Cameo, NGC has yet to grade one this high (1/05).
