Lot 1156
1856. PCGS graded Proof 65 PQ. CAC Approved. An outstanding example of this rare early proof Seated half dime that exhibits rich rose-copper and sea-blue toning over deep watery fields and lightly frosted devices (although the latter is not readily evident). The surfaces are clearly at the Gem level as precious few signs of handling are present, even when closely examined. The strike is exceptionally bold, and the eye appeal is high. Of the perhaps 40 examples known today, PCGS has not graded any finer than the present coin as a non-cameo (two Proof 66 Cameos have been graded there). Worthy of the finest collection. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 4434) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
