<B>1864 50C PR65 Cameo PCGS.</B></I> In World War II, the Philadelphia Mint stopped producing proofs as part of the overall campaign to overhaul the facility's procedures and compositions. During the Civil War, however, proof coinage continued largely unimpeded, though anxiety over the war's direction and the general economic hardship of the time depressed mintages. In 1864, production of proof halves consisted of just 470 pieces.<BR> A singularly desirable specimen, this is the <I>only</B></I> Cameo exemplar graded PR65 by PCGS, with none finer (11/07). A thin layer of golden toning with whispers of haze graces gleaming fields, and the ivory-tinged devices offer bold detail and considerable frost. This fantastic Gem is beautifully preserved with eye appeal to match.<BR><I>From The Kallenberg #1 PCGS Registry Set Of Proof Half Dollars.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
