Amazing 1892 Half, MS67

1892 50C MS67 PCGS. The 1892 is the most readily available date in the Barber half series in high grades, because the collecting public saved considerable numbers in the first year of issue. Even this "common" issue, however, is anything but available in this lofty condition; PCGS has graded just 11 coins as MS67, with only one finer (2/08).
The appeal of this piece is instantaneous and enormous, beginning with copper-gold surfaces laced with jade-green, aqua, mauve, and amber. The strike is bold and shows little of the reverse weakness so often seen. A tiny planchet lamination in the area of the designer's initial B on the bust truncation is neither easily visible nor distracting. Finally, the luster is excellent, a final affirmation of this outstanding coin's Superb Gem status.(Registry values: N4719)
