Description
Luminous PR61 1847 Half Dollar
Remarkable Early Proof Issue
1847 50C PR61 NGC. The proof mintage for 1847 half dollars
is unknown but undoubtedly low. The profound sharpness of detail on
this specimen defines its proof status, with the coin's toned-over
reflectivity providing more of an assist. A single tiny dark spot
appears over Liberty's left (facing) shoulder; otherwise, light
gold-gray patina covers surfaces that have their faults, such as
numerous minor hairlines and a pinscratch to the right of Liberty's
figure. These faults, however, cannot take away from the historic
importance of this coin. Census: 2 in 61, 13 finer (12/11).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27T9, PCGS# 6391, GSID# 6404)
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
