LOT 482<br />
50C 1870 J-956. PCGS PR66<br />
CAM CAC<br />
This coin is a very high<br />
R-7 (4-7 Minted). Struck in<br />
aluminum with a plain edge. It<br />
is the FINEST known.<br />
There are less than half a<br />
dozen known of this issue and<br />
this coin is the finest certified!<br />
For a trial striking, a lot of<br />
effort went into making this<br />
exceptional quality piece.<br />
Overall, the planchet was<br />
problem free, so when it was<br />
struck, there are practically<br />
NO imperfections. Glorious<br />
watery mirror fields that offer extraordinary quality and preservation. This issue has a plain edge and is boldly struck on all the devices<br />
with snow white frost glistening over the mirror fields. No spots or lines detract! Undoubtedly this is the finest known of this rare and<br />
seldom seen pattern issue.<br />
PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. The ONLY other specimen we are aware of is the PR 64+ Cameo in the all time finest ever Pattern<br />
Collection-the Simpson Collection. This coin sold in December 2017 for $9,400. There are NO accurate price guides for this coin. Do<br />
keep in mind, if it was a regular 1870 Half in PR66 Cameo CAC it would easily cost $10,000+. Good luck!<br />
PCGS# 800036 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+<br />
