FROM THE DR. STEPHEN DAVIDSON COLLECTION Classic old time collection toning graces the surfaces of this watery-reflective near-GEM. Azure and rich orange toning is enlivened by the reflective brilliance of the mirrored fields. The devices are sharply rendered and the eye appeal on this near-GEM Civil War year half dollar is excellent. We do not know why CAC did not approve it, we like the look a lot! Ex Heritage, September 2002, lot 6859; Heritage FUN, January 2004, lot 6652; Stack's Bowers, November 2011, lot 2347; Richard Jewell Collection, Stack's Bowers August 2013, lot 4178; our consignor. Only 550 Proofs were struck. PCGS 49, NGC 61. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $2,233 back in June 2017 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $3,000. This is a great collector coin, worthy of a strong bid. Cert. Number 21082371 PCGS # 6416
