<B>1890 50C PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC.</B></I> While the later proof Seated half dollar issues have high mintages when compared to the series as a whole, the 1890 is an exception. Its total production of just 590 pieces is the lowest such figure since 1877, though the 1890 is valued much the same as its more available counterparts. For the collector seeking a single example of this series in proof, the 1890 offers excellent eye appeal as well.<BR> The spectacular Superb Gem offered here seems to have everything going for it. The decisively struck devices have rich ivory frost and bold contrast with slightly hazy, yet distinctly reflective mirrors. Gold-orange and cerulean patina at the margins adds to the coin's visual appeal while having little to no impact on the cameo effect. Add the piece's incredible preservation, and the combination is irresistible. Census: 2 in 67 Ultra Cameo, 1 finer (1/08).<BR><I>From The Southwest Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
