Description
Extremely Rare 1850 Proof Half Dollar
1850 50C --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Proof. The 1850 proof half dollar has an unknown, but certainly small mintage. Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert in their 1993 half dollar reference say that "at least 4 are known." NGC and PCGS have to date (4/08) certified five specimens. Light champagne-gold patina covers both sides of the present example, and a powerful strike brings out virtually complete definition on the design elements. Magnification reveals light hairlines, especially in the fields.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27TC, PCGS# 6394, GSID# 6415)
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 13.36 grams
