GC $43,312.50 (12/22) - 1964 50C Accented Hair, FS-401, PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. Extra detailing appears in Kennedy's hair on this variety, and a broken left foot on the I in LIBERTY confirms the attribution. This condition rarity is tied for the finest known example of the variety (1/25). Brilliant, liquidlike mirrors complement frosty devices and a sharp strike, with overall outstanding visual appeal. The PR69 grade means virtually flawless preservation, and the Deep Cameo designation denotes virtually flawless production quality. We last handled an Accented Hair piece in this grade in our January 2024 Signature, which realized $46,800. Population: 6 in 69 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (1/25).
1968-S 50C PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS. The 1968-S proof Kennedy half dollar is a great rarity in PR70 Deep Cameo. PCGS lists only 16 coins so fine, and none are comparable at NGC (9/17). This piece is fully struck and brilliant with stark white-on-black contrast. The surfaces are perfect. Registry Set collectors should give this coin close consideration as the finest obtainable. Heritage (11/17)
The 1995-W $1 Silver Eagle PR70 Deep Cameo. has been a modern rarity. Looking back, one wonders how only 30,125 of the 45,000 10th Anniversary proof sets made available in 1995 were sold. Granted, the $999 was prohibitive for many collectors, but what a bargain that seems like today. The 1995-W Silver Eagle proof is a classic modern rarity. Examples are surprisingly scarce in flawless PR70 Deep Cameo condition, and they are always in high demand from Registry collectors and others who specialize in this popular series. Each side is boldly contrasted as always, but this piece lacks the single nick that usually keeps these coins from attaining the ultimate grade level.
