1911 Half Dollar, PR67
Amazing Color and Preservation
Gold CAC, Old Green Holder

1911 50C PR67 PCGS. Gold CAC. The preservation and eye appeal of this Superb Gem proof generate a sense of wonder that would be difficult to replicate, let alone surpass. Straw-gold and mint-green rims encircle cobalt-blue, magenta, rose, lavender, and amber toning over the central areas. Flawlessly preserved without a mark of note. Housed in an old green label holder with a gold CAC approval sticker.

Population Data (9/15): PCGS reports eight submissions in PR67, four in PR68, and one in PR69. NGC shows 11 in PR67 (one PR67+, one PR67 ★ ), seven in PR68 (two PR68 ★ ), and one PR69. Only seven Barber half dollar proofs in the entire series have been awarded a gold CAC sticker. This is the only 1911 example, and it is the sole finest proof by two grade points with such a designation.

Heritage Commentary: Gold CAC approval stickers are awarded to coins believed to be undergraded by one full grade point, at minimum. Only one out of approximately 500 submissions (0.2%) is given a prized gold sticker. This example, from a mintage of 543 proofs, is undoubtedly among the best-preserved, most appealing representatives we have ever offered, likely one of the finest 1911 proof half dollars extant.
