1908 Half Dollar, PR68
Toned Top-Grade Registry Coin
A Major Rarity This Fine

1908 50C PR68 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The 1908 proof is a rarity with any degree of cameo contrast, and no such coins are certified as fine as PR68 at PCGS. This piece is one of four non-Cameo proofs in this grade at PCGS with none finer. NGC also lists four non-Cameos in this grade with one additional PR68 coin in the Cameo category (2/21). The Simpson coin is toned in myriad gold, olive-green, amber, and russet hues, with deep reflectivity in the fields. The usual touch of strike softness is seen on the eagle's right (facing) talons and shoulder. Population: 4 in 68, 0 finer (1/21).(Registry values: N4719)
