Description
Outstanding, Sharply Detailed
1896 Barber Half, MS66
1896 50C MS66 PCGS. Even though almost a million pieces were
struck of the 1896-P it remains an overlooked and underrated date
in the Barber half series. Business strikes are scarce in all
grades and are generally more valuable than proofs. When found,
though, the 1896 is sharply defined with excellent mint luster.
This coin certainly fits that description with sharply detailed
design elements. The mint luster is bright and heavily frosted with
semireflective fields. Close examination with a magnifier reveals
no obvious or even mentionable abrasions on either side. An
outstanding 1896 and clearly among the finest known of this elusive
Philadelphia issue. Population: 3 in 66, 1 finer (10/10).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection, Part Two.(Registry values: N4719)
