Exceptional PR67 1865 Seated Half

1865 50C PR67 NGC. It has been seven years since we have offered a PR67 example of this date from either of the major grading services. Undoubtedly this is because there are only five other PR67 examples known of the 1865 and one PR68 (6/09). The mintage was small 144 years ago when these pieces were produced with only 500 proofs struck. This is an immaculately preserved coin. The fields are bright and radiate mirror-like reflectivity through the rose centers that are surrounded by blue at the margins. Interestingly, there are a few small streaks of original brilliance that still can be seen as well. The devices actually appear to be frosted enough for a Cameo designation, but the depth of color prevents such a modifier. An exceptional No Motto half.
