Colorful PR68 Cameo 1883 Half Dollar

1883 50C PR68 Cameo NGC. The 1883 is the last proof in the Seated half series to have a stated four-figure mintage, and examples are readily available in most grades. PR68 Cameo, on the other hand, is not "most grades," and this is one of only two coins so graded by NGC with none at PCGS and none numerically finer (7/10). The two sides offer distinct appearances but a similar toning pattern: a window of silver at the upper right to right obverse yields to successive bands of gold, orange, and ruby, finishing with violet and blue at the margins (obverse) or rims (reverse). Strongly contrasted through the patina and carefully preserved, a winner in every respect.
