Description
1892 Barber Half Dollar, PR68
Tied for Finest Graded
1892 50C PR68 NGC. This gorgeous Superb Gem example of the
first-year 1892 proof Barber half is blanketed on both sides by
deep shades of electric-blue, rose, and gold toning, along with
occasional coral accents. The glassy fields remain deeply
reflective when the coin is turned beneath a strong light source.
The fully struck surfaces are free of contact marks or other
distractions.Population Data (5/14): NGC shows two PR68 and PCGS four PR68. None are finer at either service.
Heritage Commentary: This first-year issue had what was easily the highest proof mintage of the entire Barber half dollar series. It is one of the most available issues, if not by a wide margin over some of the other dates from the 1890s. This date was widely hoarded because of its first-year status and is probably the best choice for a proof type collection.
