3211: 1894 50C PR66 PCGS. CAC. The 1894 proof half doll
1894 50C PR66 PCGS. CAC. The 1894 proof half dollar had a fairly substantial mintage of 972 pieces and is proportionately available for date representation. High-end examples, however, are seldom seen and command much attention when appearing at auction. Whispers of light gold color cling to the margins of this Premium Gem proof, and a solid strike results in virtually complete definition on design elements that exhibit mild contrast with the mirrored fields. A couple of minuscule obverse marks may preclude an even higher grade. Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2008), lot 775; purchased by Eugene Gardner from David Lawrence Rare Coins (5/2012); Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part III (Heritage, 5/2015), lot 98543.
