Description
1898 Barber Half, Magnificent PR68 ★ Cameo
Ex: Hugon
1898 50C PR68 ★ Cameo NGC. Ex: Hugon. While certainly
not a common date with only 735 proofs struck, the 1898 is,
however, one of the better produced issues in the Barber half
series. This is the only PR68 ★ coin certified by NGC and there is
only one other NGC PR68 graded with two PCGS coins similarly
graded. The fields on this magnificent coin are hairline-free and
show unfathomable depth of mirrored reflectivity. The devices are
nicely frosted and provide a noticeable contrast against the deep
fields. Both obverse and reverse are well-balanced with clear,
untoned centers that are surrounded by deep reddish-golden and
cobalt-blue toning at the margins. An outstanding, original, and
pristine type coin.Ex: John C. Hugon Collection / FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 4278; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2005), lot 3355.
