Description
Attractive 1882 Half Dollar, PR66
1882 50C PR66 PCGS. An astounding, highly attractive, rainbow-toned specimen. Deep emerald, gold, and slate-gray toning on the obverse contrasts sharply against the dramatic electric blue, lavender, and rose reverse. The devices are lightly frosted and the fields are deeply mirrored, but apparently there is not quite enough cameo contrast to earn the designation from PCGS. The strike is full, as one would expect, and a couple of light contact marks keep this piece from an even higher grade. Part of a series of low mintage P-mint proof and business strikes from 1879 to 1890. A mere 1,100 proofs were struck, along with just 4,400 circulation strikes. Population: 21 in 66, 2 finer (6/08).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27UH, PCGS# 6443, GSID# 6518)
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 12.50 grams
ASW: 0.3617oz
