<B>1862 50C PR66 NGC.</B></I> A gorgeous proof with glittering, deeply mirrored fields on both sides, accented by lighter iridescent toning. The obverse has a small circle of ivory-gray, surrounded by lilac, amber, and blue-green toning. The reverse is similarly toned, but lacks the lighter color found on the obverse.<BR> Proof No Motto half dollars are much scarcer than those of the modified With Motto design. Factor in the nature of Civil War issues, with the rarity of business strikes, and this issue qualifies as an important and highly desirable numismatic prize. Census: 6 in 66, 2 finer (8/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
