The August 2013 Chicago ANA World's Fair of Money

详细说明: Superb Gem Proof 1861 Half Dollar 1861 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Proof-67 * (NGC). If you are searching for the finest, likely your quest can stop here. The eye appeal of the offered coin is exceptional due to the deep aqua-blue toning on the obverse which flashes with teal and violet when examined under a light. The reverse is similarly toned, save for a brighter silver-gold patch loosely centered over the eagle and fields. Such toning is seldom found with this intensity or richness of color. The strike is full and sharp, and the surfaces are virtually free of any signs of handling, earning this Superb grade from NGC. Only 1,000 pieces were struck in Proof, and precious few remain at the Gem level, let alone this Superb grade. There are no grading events reported at or above the PR-67 level by NGC in the Cameo or Ultra Cameo designation, therefore, this coin is arguably the finest known of the date. PCGS# 6415. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. NGC Census: 2; none finer in any designation. This is the only * example at PR-67.
