<B>1892 50C PR67 Deep Cameo NGC.</B></I> Walter Breen writes in his 1977 proof coins reference book about the 1892 proof half dollars: "Too many beautifully toned examples have fallen victim to cyanide or baking soda paste. Hoarded as first year of issue but not to such a large extent as the quarters." The hoarding is evident in the large number of coins certified by NGC and PCGS. Deep Cameos, however, are few and far between, as is evident from the mere 11 certified examples.<BR> Frosted motifs on this PR67 Deep Cameo stand out against the deeply mirrored fields. A well executed strike results in razor sharp definition on the design elements, and just the faintest hint of gold color occasionally shows up at the margins under magnification. Both sides are impeccably preserved. A small planchet flake between the IB of PLURIBUS pedigrees the coin. Census: 3 in 67 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (7/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
