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. Census: 3 in 68, 0 finer (11/22).
