Description
Sharply Struck 1857 Seated Half, PR63
Fewer Than 25 Examples Known
1857 50C PR63 PCGS. A few minor milk spots and field
hairlines account for the grade on this Select proof 1857 half
dollar, one of an unknown but undoubtedly small coinage in the year
before the Mint began publicly advertising proof coinage for
general sale. The Breen Proof Encyclopedia comments, "Except
for the small cent, probably the most difficult denomination of the
year," and fewer than 25 examples are known today. This piece
displays silver-gray surfaces throughout, with a sharp strike and
much more appeal than the grade implies. Remember that the
certified populations likely contain much duplication for these
early issues. Population: 17 in 63, 13 finer (6/10).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27TG, PCGS# 6411, GSID# 6434)
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 12.44 grams
