An exceptionally detailed strike combines with flashing prooflike lustre to create startling visual impact. Assertive yellow-gold fields and devices show a dash of clear red at the obverse center. There is a considerable degree of cameo contrast that serves to further embellish the allure of this beauty. Careful study reveals some inconsequential reverse field laminations, however it cannot be denied that the present specimen is easily among the finest known of this die variety. In fact, it is highly doubtful that more than twenty or so Half Eagles bearing this date and reverse type from all known die varieties combined surpass the quality of the coin offered here! PCGS MS63.
