1911. PCGS graded Proof 66+. Only 543 struck. A nice white coin. Should be called a cameo. Resplendent surfaces that are flawlessly frosted on the key devices with vibrant, glowing silver mirror reflection in the fields. In fairness to objectivity, the luster isn't the be-all and end-all of the grade. Consider strike: a sharp impression was left by the recoil of the specially made Proof dies that struck this piece. All Proofs in that period were struck on the mint’s hydraulic press which gave a more forceful, evenly balanced "squeeze" to the planchet. The sharp relief that this imparted is plainly on display with this lovely 1911 Proof half dollar. Pop 1; 10 finer, 6 in 67, 4 in 68 (PCGS # 6558) .
Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,200.
The Larry Shapiro Collection.
