Description:

Captivating 1896 Half Dollar, MS67
Tied With One Other For Finest Certified With Star

1896 50C MS67 NGC. The 1896 has one of the lowest business strike mintages (950,000 pieces) in the Barber half dollar series, and is scarce in all levels of preservation. In the better Mint State grades (MS65 and finer), NGC and PCGS have certified just 29 coins: 21 examples in MS65, five in MS66, and three in MS67, including two Superb Gems with Star.
The present MS67 offering displays intense luster radiating from surfaces splashed with delicate cobalt-blue, beige-gold, magenta, sky-blue, and violet patination. A penetrating strike leaves virtually complete delineation on the design elements, heightening even more the outstanding eye appeal. Close inspection reveals a handful of trivial, grade-consistent marks, barely precluding an MS68 numerical grade. This captivating piece will delight the new owner!(Registry values: N7079) (#6474)
