Description
1905 Half Dollar, PR68
Sole Finest at PCGS
1905 50C PR68 PCGS. CAC. The surfaces appear perfect on this
Superb Gem proof, certified in a green-label holder. Even strong
magnification fails to reveal any post-striking defects. The fields
are deeply reflective, and a slight amount of frost appears over
the devices. Golden-brown toning is scattered irregularly over both
sides, complementing streaks of brilliance evident here and
there.Population Data (7/14): This PR68 half dollar is the single finest 1905 that PCGS has certified, and the only PR68 at CAC. NGC reports three PR68 and one PR68 Cameo.
Heritage Commentary: We offered this same example in 2009 and a PR68 NGC example in 2005, marking are the only previous appearances of a PR68 of this issue in any of our auctions since 1993. These pieces rarely appear in the marketplace at this top grade level.
