1875 50C PR (PCGS#6436)

The June 2013 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1876 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-Unlisted, FS-401. C in Neck. Proof-66 (NGC). Misplaced "C" on neck of Liberty, located at the base of her neck is the upper portion of what is certainly the top portion of the C(C) mintmark. This curiosity is similar to the 1952 "S" superbird quarter where a deliberate faint letter was placed one the eagle's chest. The placement of this C was lightly engraved that would be virtually certain to escape notice yet in a prominent area. Not only is this feature obvious when seen, the popularity of this variety has yet to be widely known and desired.<br /> <br /> Glorious peripheral teal and blue toning, with central golden-russet and a bright center on the obverse, the reverse more russet gold to the center with matching blue and the periphery. Mintage for the year was 1,520 proofs, this from the first Type 1 reverse with the split berry over H(ALF). One of the finest known of this date in proof, and undoubtedly one of the -- if not <em>the</em> finest of this extraordinary variety. Centennial year issue, and a prize for the specialist to acquire.
