<B>1847 50C PR64 NGC.</B></I> True proof examples of earlier coins are usually identified as such by a mere glance, and this is just such a coin. The fields are deeply mirrored around lustrous and sharply defined devices. Both sides have a blend of pleasing ivory, gold, and lilac color. A few faint hairlines on each side prevent a Gem grade determination for this splendid piece.<BR> While we do not have an accurate Census of proof 1847 half dollars, we suspect that the population is less than 10 coins in all grades. NGC and PCGS have combined to grade 14 submissions in all grades, with the finest certified as PR66. <B>This is the first time that we have offered a proof example of this date</B></I> since we began our auction archives in 1993. Census: 4 in 64, 1 finer (2/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
