<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3475469, member: 101855"]Here is a 1936 Proof half dollar that is graded PR-66. These coins came in cellulose sleeves. Over time the cellulose imparted a haze on the silver coins. The trick is to find pieces with a little bit of haze, perhaps a little toning color and the mirrored surfaces shining through with no marks or hairlines. This coin looks much better in person. The mirrors are quite strong.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]924521[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]924522[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>PR-66 is an outstanding grade for Proof coins of this era.
