Singular PR68 Cameo 1911 Half

1911 50C PR68 Cameo NGC. With a mintage of only 543 examples, the 1911 issue had the lowest production for a proof Barber half to that time, a status it would hold until 1914. Most survivors show little to no contrast, a change from the 19th century issues, which often showcased gorgeous cameo effects. In many ways, this incredibly appealing half has more in common with its 19th century forebears than its contemporaries. The devices show moderate to heavy frost and contrast beautifully with the deeply mirrored fields. Reddish-tan and blue-green peripheral toning visits each side, though any impact on the contrast is minor. As one might infer from the grade, the overall preservation is stellar. The piece stands alone as the single finest Cameo coin in the combined certified population (3/11).
