Description
1898 Barber Half, PR67+ Cameo
Beautiful Surfaces, Exceptional Eye Appeal
1898 50C PR67+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. Although not rare as a proof
date, the 1898 is found with Cameo contrast perhaps less often than
expected at the highest grade levels, given the quality of
contrasted proofs struck by the Philadelphia Mint in the late
1890s. A total of 795 proofs were struck in 1898.This is a superbly preserved, boldly struck and richly mirrored example, exhibiting incredible eye appeal. The obverse shows stark white-on-black contrast that is accented by a hint of light golden toning. The reverse displays vibrant peach-gold toning in the fields with a stunning splash of lavender at the center with violet accents. The visual effect is lovely purple-on-gold contrast. Both the PCGS Plus designation and CAC endorsement are unquestionably deserved. Population: 9 in 67 (5 in 67+) Cameo, 2 finer; 5 in 67 (1 in 67+) Deep Cameo, 3 finer. CAC: 8 in 67, 2 finer (3/18).(Registry values: N4719)
