Description
Delectable 1894 Barber Half, MS67+
Sole Finest at PCGS
1894 50C MS67+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor. The reverse has
a faint crack through the tops of NITED to the border right of the
last letter. Otherwise, both dies are perfect.This Superb Gem has frosty luster beneath incredible sky-blue, emerald-green, lemon-yellow, and golden-brown toning intermingled over both sides. The design is boldly rendered on each side from a virtually full strike, and the surfaces have no significant marks.
In addition to the Hugon Collection that had a splendid MS66 PCGS specimen of the 1894 Barber half dollar, we proudly offered the present coin from another consignment in our January 2005 Platinum Night sale. A second MS67 PCGS coin appeared in our February 2006 auction, reappearing in three additional sales, and those two coins remain the only pieces that PCGS has graded at the MS67 level.
We sold the MS66 PCGS duplicate from the Duckor Collection in our January 2009 offering of the Dale Friend Collection, the coin that the present specimen replaced. In addition to the Hugon and Friend specimens, few other Superb Gems have ever appeared on the market. Even coins grading MS66 are infrequently encountered. Our auction archives date back to January 1993 and include just 12 auction appearances in MS66 or MS67, representing only seven different coins. Population (6/10): MS66 (8); MS66+ (0); MS67 (1); MS67+ (1).
