Sharp Gem Proof 1860 Seated Half

1860 50C PR65 NGC. CAC. Although Mint records state 1,000 proofs were struck, that figure is misleading, since a significant portion of the initial mintage went unsold and was eventually melted by the Treasury. The 1860 is scarcer than several Civil War dates with lower proof mintages. This is a well struck Gem that displays rich electric-blue, rose-red, stone-gray, and lime-green patina once rotated beneath a light. Census: 13 in 65, 26 finer (4/09).
