Attractive 1863 Gem Proof Half

1863 50C PR65 PCGS. Only 460 proof half dollars were struck in 1863. PCGS and NGC have certified a fair number of specimens through the near-Gem level of preservation. Gems are scarce and higher grade coins are rare. The reflective fields of this PR65 example yield relatively strong contrast with the sharply struck motifs at certain angles. Cobalt-blue, yellow-gold, and lavender toning gravitates to the margins, leaving the centers mostly aqua. A few grade-consistent handling marks are not all that disturbing. Population: 11 in 65, 2 finer (3/09).
