Lot 1572
1892 Columbian Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. Lovely light even toning. There are only a handful of Proofs of the classical Commemorative series known, this actually is one of the more available, but has a mintage that compares favorably with proof gold coinage of this era. Any proof commemorative half is a rarity, especially so when found in gem grades like the present coin. Notice the depth of strike on Columbus's hair and the reflective mirror fields, also the strong definition on the rigging of his ship, features seldom found even approaching this depth on regular issue examples. A stunning example that will be a major highlight of an advanced Commemorative half dollar collection. Only 103 struck. Pop 7; 2 finer in 66. (PCGS # 9295) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500.
