Not Sold Description
Magnificent PR68 1895 Barber Half
1895 50C PR68 NGC. The frosty portrait is mostly untoned, but the remainder of the obverse of this exquisite specimen displays orange-gold and ruby-red, with a blush of blue-green along the lower obverse margin. The reverse is deep gray with rich apricot and lilac undertones. The strike is full, even on the often ill-defined shield corners and fletchings. Immaculate and exceptional. The proof mintage of the 1895 half dollar is 880 pieces, identical to its famous proof-only silver dollar counterpart. Although an impaired 1895 Morgan typically sells for tens of thousands of dollars, the present unimprovable half dollar can be secured at a comparatively favorable cost.
