Description

Kaufman's Richly Toned PR66 1885 Half

1885 50C PR66 NGC. Ex: P. Kaufman. A mere 5,200 business strike Half Dollars emerged from the presses of the Philadelphia Mint in 1885. The desirability of that issue has successfully transferred to the proof 1885, with survivors of the 930-piece mintage in constant demand. The present Premium Gem is richly toned in cobalt-blue peripheral shadings and copper-gray central patination. The outward dominance of this toning scheme does nothing to inhibit one's appreciation of the golden-blue undertones and reflective proof qualities. Census: 20 in 66, 9 finer (6/08).
Ex: Philip Kaufman Collection (Heritage, 9/2002), lot 6878.
