Description
Elusive 1857 Select Proof Half Dollar
1847 50C PR63 PCGS. Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert, in The Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars, write that less than 15 proofs of 1847 are known. An inspection of PCGS and NGC figures reveal 14 proofs, the finest rating PR66.The brilliant surfaces of this Select example display an even distribution of faint golden-tan speckles over the obverse, and an occasional blush of barely discernible tan on the reverse. A powerful strike imparts exquisite definition to the design features. Die polish lines in the fields of both sides should not be confused with hairlines. A thin diagonal mark is noted in the right obverse field. Housed in a green-label holder. Population: 2 in 63, 1 finer (12/07).
