USA Administration Proof 50 Centavos 1908 PR66 PCGS, Philadelphia mint, KM171. From a small Proof mintage of only 500 pieces, this outstanding selection features an incredible mixture of lilac and champagne coloration across the surfaces--heavily on the obverse and somewhat more delicately on the reverse--and design definition that is unmistakeably bold, save for the area of usual softness atop the eagle's breast. Stunning reflectivity that resonates across the fields illuminates the elements in warm color, further adding to the tremendous appeal of this jewel-like offering. A premium coin through and through, typically encountered as an accompaniment to the Proof set of this year, and as such, a wonderful opportunity for the collector looking to upgrade on the individual level.
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
