Description
1898 Half Dollar, PR68 ★ Cameo
Rim-Toned With Silver Centers
1898 50C PR68 ★ Cameo NGC. Please also see the companion to
this piece in the proof Barber quarters, an 1898 in PR68+ ★
Ultra Cameo. Both it and the present Barber half, graded PR68
★ Cameo, are products of the felicitous proof mintage of
1898, totaling 735 pieces. The silver proof coins of 1896 and 1898
are among the choicest, most desirable productions of the 19th
century in terms of their technical and aesthetic qualities. This
piece boasts deeply reflective fields complementing lots of frost
over the devices. The centers are brilliant, with thin rings of
russet and blue at the margins on each side. There are no
mentionable or discernible flaws, and the strike is uniformly
sharp. Census: 3 in 68 ★ Cameo, 0 finer (1/12).From The Aspen Collection of Proof Coinage.(Registry values: N7079)
