1847 50C PR (PCGS#6391)

The Regency Auction 48

详细说明: FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III This is indeed a VERY RARE coin for the advanced collector, as are all pre-1858 Proof coins. It is reported that 10 Proofs were struck in 1847, though perhaps 10-12 examples are thought to survive for collectors. The current PCGS and NGC Population and Censuses show a total of 17 graded in all grades, no doubt including duplication of submissions in hopes of a higher grade. The fields are flashy and bold with liquid mercury like reflection in the fields on both sides. Every detail is crisply struck with razor sharp definition. Wonderfully CHOICE surfaces show just some minor lines and a dusting of the faintest silver-white iridescence with gentle golden accents. There are no serious contact marks or breaks in the bold reflection or on the devices. The eye appeal is exceptional and this RARITY is worthy of its CAC endorsement. Only 10 Proofs were struck. PCGS 2, NGC 3, CAC 1. The most recent PCGS-graded example sold for $20,125 back in the 2008 FUN auction; that coin was NOT CAC. More recently a PCGS/CAC PR64 sold for $28,800 in November 2017. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $23,500 and the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $26,000. According to the PCGS Population Report there are just 3 finer, including the above mentioned example sold in November 2017. A VERY RARE example of an early Proof that is very rarely offered, bid accordingly! Cert. Number 32943957 PCGS # 6391
