Pleasing 1855 Half Dollar, PR64 Cameo

1855 50C PR64 Cameo NGC. CAC. The present sale has a small selection of nice pre-1858 proof rarities, and the present example of the Arrows half dollar type ranks among the most attractive, with excellent cameo contrast on both sides. While the upper obverse stars are weak, the balance of obverse and reverse design elements are sharp and boldly defined. Although a few hairlines and tiny contact marks are evident, it is a lovely proof with light silver surfaces and peripheral gold toning. In all grades NGC has only certified eight proof 1855 half dollars, including four Cameo proofs and four non-Cameo pieces. Census: 1 in 64 Cameo, 2 finer (3/09).
From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.
