Description

Superb Gem Proof 1901 Barber Half Dollar
Among the Finest Certified, Ex: Eliasberg

1901 50C PR68 NGC. CAC. Only 813 proof Barber half dollars were minted in 1901, a minuscule mintage in absolute terms, but actually quite generous in the context of the series. Examples in PR68 condition are extremely rare today, as NGC has certified only six coins in PR68, with none finer; while PCGS has graded just two specimens at this level, with none finer (7/10). The present coin can trace its history to the fabled Eliasberg Collection, a mark of distinction for any coin.
The coin offered here is a nearly perfect example that combines high technical grade with intense eye appeal. The mostly brilliant, mirrored fields are lightly toned in shades of champagne and gold. The striking details are sharp and the surfaces are free of any mentionable distractions.
Ex: John M. Clapp, purchased directly from the Philadelphia Mint in September 1901; John H. Clapp; Clapp Estate; Louis Eliasberg in 1942 via Stack's; Louis Eliasberg Sr. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 4/1997), lot 2091.
