Description
1896 Half Dollar, MS66
Rich Toning, Partial Contrast
Only Two Numerically Finer at PCGS
1896 50C MS66 PCGS. Ice-blue toning dominates the borders,
while dappled golden-orange and violet patina appears centrally on
each side. This Premium Gem Barber half dollar maintains a partial
cameo effect between the fully struck devices, including the right
shield corner, and the surrounding fields, which survive in
virtually pristine condition. The 1896 half claims a high
six-figure mintage but is a serious rarity at the MS66 grade level.
The unavailability of the either the 1896-O or 1896-S in comparable
grades places added pressure on top-quality Philadelphia coins like
this one. Population: 6 in 66 (3 in 66+), 2 finer (12/20).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24LV, PCGS# 6474, Greysheet# 6557)
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
