Description
1896-O Barber Half Dollar, MS64+★
Only Certified Prooflike Example
1896-O 50C MS64+★ Prooflike NGC. The 1896-O Barber half
dollar claims a low mintage of 924,000 pieces, making it an elusive
better date in the series. Most of the coins circulated heavily at
the time of issue and few high-quality examples were saved by
contemporary collectors, making the 1896-O especially difficult to
locate in high grade. This Plus-graded Choice example, the only
Prooflike specimen at NGC, has been awarded the Star designation,
attesting to its quality and eye appeal within the grade. The
design elements are well-detailed, with just a touch of the usual
softness on the central reverse. The well-preserved, lustrous
surfaces feature brilliant silver centers, with vivid highlights of
emerald-green and cobalt-blue toning at the peripheries. The fields
exhibit much prooflike reflectivity. Census: 7 in 64*, 1 in 64+★
Prooflike, 7 finer (5/21).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24LW, Variety PCGS# 86475, Base PCGS# 6475)
Weight: 12.50 grams
