Outstanding PR67 Cameo 1884 Half

1884 50C PR67 Cameo NGC. Just over 5,000 1884 Seated Liberty half dollars were produced in any form. Of those, a mere 875 were proofs. Of those proofs, just a few dozen have been designated as Cameo by either NGC or PCGS. And of those Cameos, NGC and PCGS have combined to certify but five 67s, with none finer (7/08). While 1884 proof half dollars were preserved at a high rate, it is clear that this coin stands strong among the elite not only for the date and series, but for the type. That being the case, general collectors and series enthusiasts alike should look at this Superb Gem Cameo as a unique opportunity to own a conditional rarity. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and the fields deeply reflective. This reflectivity sets up a strong cameo contrast against the frosted devices on each side. An essentially flawless Superb Gem.
