1896 Barber Half, MS66
Sharply Detailed

1896 50C MS66 PCGS. CAC. 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: 5 in 66 (3 in 66+), 2 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 2 finer (4/22).
