Description
Superb Gem 1892-O Half Dollar
Green Label Holder
1892-O 50C MS67 PCGS. Semireflective surfaces are largely
silver with green-gold dots at the margins and a rose blush across
the portrait's face and neck. Despite a touch of softness at the
claw holding arrows, this coin has great all-around detail, and the
preservation is as excellent as the grade would imply.Variety: The normal-size mintmark is tilted sharply to the left. Both dies are fresh with no die cracks, clash marks, or signs of lapping.
Population Data (7/14): PCGS shows this sole MS67 example and one MS68. Behind those two coins are 18 pieces in MS65 or MS66. NGC shows two MS68, one with a Star designation, and three MS66.
Heritage Commentary: Though a small quantity of 1892-O half dollars were saved as first-of-their-kind pieces, few examples of the issue can rival this Superb Gem. This coin is long-established as an important representative, as attested by its green label PCGS holder.
Provenance: From the Estate of John C. Hugon.(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24LG, PCGS# 6462, Greysheet# 6577)
