Description
This coin is a spectacularly toned GEM Uncirculated, prooflike, and the finest known 1807 half, period. Ex. lot #296 Lester Merkin's sale of 3/15/67, an incredible offering of early halves following his landmark offering of the Helfenstein Large cents and dimes in his 4/66 auction, Lester raved about this coin. It was then included in a collection offered by Merkin in 2/12/72, lot #133 and purchased there by Bernard Kalmanson, an advanced NYC collector of gorgeous coins. His collection was sold by Stack's in the 1970's, where Jim Pryor purchased the coin. Jim, an advanced collector of quality halves, who really loved his coins, was an extremely appreciative owner and his collection was sold by Bowers & Merena in 1996, after his passing two years prior. I am selling it for the current owner, a collector of first year of issue gem prooflike coins. PCGS MS-65, but I believe a current examination would yield a higher numerical grade. It really doesn't make any difference what # is on the holder, as this is the BEST one. An interesting note: I was personally in attendance at three and maybe all of the auction sales mentioned. I have an initialed copy of the 1967 sale, but am not 100% sure that I was there.The pictures do not do this coin justice! Please check out my other items and my about me page!
