PR68 1893 Barber Half Dollar
Vibrantly Toned

1893 50C PR68 PCGS. CAC. A stunning and vibrantly toned Superb Gem with silver-white at the center, surrounded by sea-green, amber, lavender, and sky-blue toning. The reverse has a similar appearance, but lacking the white center. Every detail is particularly bold and fully defined, as usual. Few examples have such an amazing physical presentation, such pieces surviving from decades-old collections. The modest mintage of 792 coins includes coins distributed to advanced coin collectors and others in the 1890s. Survival of silver proofs from this time period numbers about half the original mintage, perhaps providing a clue about the number of collectors who were active at the time.
