1911 Half Dollar, PR67+ Cameo
Delicately Toned and Technically Superb

1911 50C PR67+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. The Barber half dollar design is much more appreciated by modern collectors than it was at the time of issue, and nothing showcases the motifs more appealingly than a high-end proof. For the 1911 issue, struck to the extant of just 543 proofs, anything grading finer than the Gem level is a challenge to locate, but succeeding is an immense reward. Case in point, the present Plus-designated Superb Gem Cameo is one of just six Cameos for the grade at PCGS and the only one with a Plus designation; there is just one coin numerically finer in this category (12/14). The eye appeal is downright captivating, showcasing deep mirrors and strong contrast, but also sharp devices and seemingly pristine surfaces. All this beneath a delicate blanket of gently blended lavender, peach, and mint-gold on the obverse and deeper sun-gold, lavender, and coppery-orange on the reverse. A visually exceptional and conditionally rare proof example of this heavily collected type.(Registry values: N4719)
