Description
Starkly Contrasted 1865 Half, PR66 Cameo
1865 50C PR66 Cameo NGC. Few of the 500 proof half dollars produced in 1865 have survived at this level of preservation. Indeed, NGC and PCGS combined have seen only 12 Premium Gem proofs with the Cameo designation, and a mere three finer (11/09). On the present example, frosted devices and mirrored fields yield eye-catching contrast at all angles, and when viewed from directly overhead, the surfaces virtually present a "white-on-black" finish, particularly on the obverse. Whispers of golden-tan patina hug the obverse margins, which are joined on the reverse borders by iridescent aqua-blue and purple coloration. A light, unobtrusive pinscratch in the field to the right of stars 4 to 6 serves as a pedigree identifier. The strike is razor-sharp, with excellent delineation apparent in Liberty's hair and foot and on the eagle.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27TS, PCGS# 86419, GSID# 6459)
