Description

1858 Seated Half, PR66 Cameo
Vibrant Eye Appeal, Great Contrast

1858 50C PR66 Cameo NGC. The 1858 proof issue was the first proof Seated half dollar to benefit from wider, systematic distribution by the Mint. Reportedly, 210 proofs were struck for proof sets and an additional quantity may have been struck for individual sale, resulting in a total proof mintage of 300+ coins. It is doubtful that one could find a more beautiful proof 1858 half dollar than this PR66 Cameo representative. Attractive blue and gold borders surround snow-white central motifs providing bold contrast between the glassy-smooth mirrored fields and the richly frosted devices. The Mint's proof strike is pinpoint sharp and there are no visual distractions whatsoever throughout the flashy fields and fully struck devices. This coin is one of just four Premium Gem Cameo examples certified by NGC. PCGS reports an additional two MS66 Cameo examples plus one finer. NGC Census: 4 in 66 Cameo (in 66+ Cameo), 0 finer (7/25).
