Description
Finest Certified 1847 Half Dollar, MS67
1847 50C MS67 NGC. Ex: Sweet Collection. The half dollar saw a production of 1.156 million circulation strikes in 1847. The date is rare in Mint State. In this respect, Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert (1993) assign a low R.6 rarity rating to Uncirculated examples.This Superb Gem is the single finest certified specimen from either NGC or PCGS. Dazzling luster issues from both sides, and a well directed strike emboldens the design elements, save for minor softness in the top two stars and on the arrow feathers. Untoned surfaces are devoid of mentionable marks. A couple of clash marks are visible, as are light peripheral cracks. Census: 1 in 67, 0 finer (3/09).
