Description
1893 Half Dollar, PR68
Tied for Finest at NGC or PCGS
1893 50C PR68 NGC. CAC. Both sides are draped in rich aqua,
violet, and golden-rose iridescence that show a tendency to lighten
in the centers, although not quite as noticeably on the reverse.
The underlying mirror surfaces are essentially free from even the
slightest disturbance. This is truly a coin that has everything
going for it in terms of color, surface quality, and eye
appeal.The Barber half dollar made its debut in 1892 with a proof mintage of 1,245 pieces -- enough to satisfy collectors seeking a first-year-of-issue proof. The financial turmoil of 1893 put a quick damper on the enthusiasm, and just 792 proofs were minted in 1893. Of these, only a few examples have achieved the PR68 level. NGC has certified three PR68 examples, including one earning the Star designation, plus a PR68 Cameo. PCGS reports three 1893 half dollars in PR68 and one in PR68 Cameo (11/15).
