Description
Superb Gem Proof 1910 Barber Half Dollar
Tied for Finest Certified
1910 50C PR68 NGC. The proof mintage of Barber half dollars
in 1910 was only 551 pieces, making the issue scarce-to-rare in all
grades today. Additional pressure has been placed on the tiny proof
mintage because the regular-issue production was also quite small.
The present coin is certainly one of the finest survivors, with
absolutely pristine fields and exceptional striking details. That
being said, the really outstanding characteristic of this coin is
the delightful toning. On the obverse, the silver center is
surrounded by vivid, iridescent hues of green, gold, and lavender.
The highly reflective fields shine through the patina. On the
reverse, the toning is evenly spread over the entire surface, with
the lilac center yielding to a circle of green at the rims.
Currently, NGC has certified only five coins in PR68, with none
finer; while PCGS has graded just a single example in this exalted
grade, with none finer (7/10).From The Bob Simpson Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
