Description
1896 Half Dollar, PR68
Tied for the Finest Certified
1896 50C PR68 PCGS. The deep blue peripheral hues mellow to
lighter rose-gold near the centers on both sides. The color is deep
and seductive, as opposed to intense and vibrant. Perusal of the
surfaces finds no significant faults, and this coin is virtually in
the same condition as the day it was coined. Only the toning
attests to the passage of time.Population Data (7/14): PCGS reports two submissions in PR68 and NGC five, with none finer at either service.
Heritage Commentary: If you demand a Superb Gem proof for your type or date collection, than make sure to secure this stunning example when it crosses the auction block. A premium opportunity.
