50C 1864 PCGS PR66+

This is a great example of a Civil War era Proof Half. The quality is SUPER HIGH END! PCGS showed no mercy here. Killer deep mirrors boldly glow from all over. The mirrors are the ultimate in cleanliness, absolute clarity, and reflection. When twirled, the mirrors become a dazzling freshly formed sheet of ice. Both sides have totally original colors of olive/gold/reddish gold/pale purple spread all over. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have light silvery frost. The eye appeal is awesome! ONLY 470 were minted. PCGS 6, NGC 6, CAC 6. This is the only 66+ graded anywhere.  PCGS has graded only one PR67 (which as of now is NOT CAC). We can not stress enough the high rarity of this GEM. PCGS has tough here. We are not promising this coin will ever PR67, but we sure do not see why it is not. The only this we guess is holding it back-the toning is slightly irregular, but it is not dark or drab. Buy the coin for what it is-a tremendous PR66+!
