Attractive 1882 Half Dollar, PR65 Cameo

1882 50C PR65 Cameo NGC. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. Production of half dollar business strikes dropped dramatically after 1878, and the 1882 regular issue is one of the key dates. Although proofs of that year are available, they are by no means common, especially in high grades. The present coin has virtually full design definition with only a touch of weakness on Liberty's head. Narrow concentric rings of cobalt-blue, lavender, and gold-brown toning gravitates towards the rims, and frosty devices offer a impressive cameo contrast against the deeply mirrored fields. Wispy die striations, as well as some minor hairlines, are noted in the fields. Census: 10 in 65 Cameo, 22 finer (6/09).
