Description
1896 Half Dollar, MS66+
Tied for Second Finest at PCGS
1896 50C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. This sensational Premium Gem
exhibits brilliant silver luster beneath intense emerald, rose, and
gold toning on both sides with a bold strike, essentially full,
that exhibits complete claw and feather detail at the lower right
reverse. This is one of the finest certified examples,tied with one
other that PCGS has graded MS66+, and with a single MS67 at that
service. Regarding Mint State coins, Dave Bowers writes in A
Guide Book of Barber Silver Coins that "Lower-level Mint State
1896 half dollars are relatively easy to find." He says nothing
about higher-level Mint State coins except that 30 to 40 are
estimated to exist in MS65 or finer grades, and nearly all of those
are just MS65. This is an extremely important opportunity to
acquire a condition rarity that will seldom appear in the
marketplace so fine.From The Dr. Peter and Janice Shireman Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
