Description
1905 Barber Half Dollar, PR68
Condition Census Rarity
1905 50C PR68 NGC. The 1905 is one of the more available
issues in the run of proof Barber half dollars. Dozens of near-Gem
and Gem examples have been certified and it is not until the PR67
level that there is a noticeable dropoff in the number certified.
Proofs of this year, however, enjoy added demand from collectors
because of the scarcity of high-end circulation strikes. This is a
sparkling, essentially perfect example. The only surface flaw we
see is a tiny planchet flake in front of Liberty's neck, not
discernible without magnification. The mirrored fields are
unfathomably deep and each side is mostly brilliant with just the
slightest suggestion of golden color glowing around the borders.
This is one of the finest proof 1905 halves in existence with only
three other pieces so-graded by NGC and one other by PCGS; none are
finer at either service (6/15).Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 4285.
