Bright 1901 Barber Half, PR68

1901 50C PR68 NGC. The proof production of 1901-dated half dollars was a generous 813 coins, but most of them have various minor flaws or contact marks, averaging around the Select proof (PR63) level. At the lofty level of PR68 the issue is quite elusive, as fewer than 10 submissions -- not necessarily different coins -- have been seen.
This bright, untoned PR68 coin exhibits sharply impressed devices, except for a hint of the often-found softness at the upper right shield corner and eagle's wing. A loupe reveals the surfaces to be near pristine, as there are no blemishes that we can even identify as pedigree markers. Census: 6 in 68, 1 in 68 finer (3/11).
