Lot 814
1871 Pattern Half Dime. Aluminum, reeded edge. PCGS graded Proof 65. In an old green label holder. A brilliant gem example. No signs of the usual hairlines or handling marks, nor of the usual aluminum "pest" or corrosion, keeping this coin in the coveted gem class. Note the deep engraving on the dies, clearly revealed in the photos, which must have been troublesome to strike up fully. This is why the coin appears somewhat medallic in its dimensions. A fabulous Gem Proof coin for the advanced pattern collector to pursue. Pop 1: the only example certified by PCGS. (PCGS # 61326) .
Estimated Value $19,000 - 21,000.
