Description: A very interesting issue, 1887 is the only year that the half eagles were struck in proof. With a mintage of only 87, this is an extremely difficult coin to find. Thankfully, most were saved as proofs, and it is estimated that 35-45 examples remain today. As one of the key dates, this example has warm honey-gold surfaces accented by the original reflectivity. Well struck, with minute handling marks, and a touch of wear on the high points, save yourself about $20k and get this example for half the price of an ugly 63.
