1951 5C PR68 Certification #07958867, PCGS #4183

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Quite possibly the finest in existence. Deep watery mirrors and luster with rainbow obverse, heavier at the rims. A DCAM is beneath the toning. The reverse features a paper-white DCAM Monticello, yielding to bright clear mirrors and then heavy rainbow toning on the peripheries. It is doubtful there are many 1951s that can match this coin's eye appeal and status as a rainbow, yet undesignated, DCAM. Coin and photo from Heritage.

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1951 Proof Jefferson is becoming scarcer over the years, as more and more collectors add them to their collections. Examples up to about PR67 can be obtained without much difficulty. In PR68 condition or higher it becomes scarce to rare.
