1843 50C PR64 NGC. Ex: Pittman. This is the second Pit
<B>1843 50C PR64 NGC.</B></I> Ex: Pittman. This is the second Pittman example, not from his complete proof set, but his duplicate! When David Akers cataloged this coin in 1998, he provided a Census of just six known examples with a note that possibly two others also exist. NGC has certified four proof 1843 half dollars, including one finer example that they graded PR66 Cameo (4/07).<BR> This example is fully detailed with fully mirrored fields beneath deep iridescent toning. It is almost certainly a splendid cameo piece, although the toning prevents such a designation. The reverse die is bisected by a heavy vertical crack from the E in STATES down to the F in HALF.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
