<B>1870 50C PR65 PCGS.</B></I> The 1870 half dollar comes with a proof mintage of 1,000 pieces, of which a goodly number have survived, if PCGS and NGC population data are any indication. The two services have seen nearly 230 examples through the near-Gem level of preservation, and fewer than 40 specimens finer. A haze of bluish-gray patina, laced with hints of orange and gold, rests over both sides of this PR65 coin. Sharply struck, save for minor softness in the eagle's right (left facing) leg and claw. No significant marks are present. Population: 11 in 65, 4 finer (6/07).<BR><I>From The Arnold & Harriet Collection.</B></I><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>\)
