Description
1911 Barber Half Dollar, PR68
Conditionally Rare Specimen
1911 50C PR68 NGC. CAC. Close examination with a strong
magnifier fails to reveal even the tiniest blemish on the surfaces
of this Superb Gem proof. The fields are deeply reflective and add
brightness to the rich coloration over each side. The surfaces show
the same deep blue-lilac and pale golden toning in different
configurations front and back.Population Data (7/14): NGC reports seven PR68 and one PR69 finer. PCGS shows four PR68 and none finer. CAC has awarded its green approval sticker to only three of those PR68 examples at both services combined.
Heritage Commentary: Despite the fairly low proof production of 543 coins -- third lowest in the series -- this late-date issue has survived in ample quantities for collectors in high-grade proof format, making such coins great acquisitions for type-set purposes.
Provenance: Trane Collection (Heritage, 1/2003), lot 7294; Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 1679. (Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24PF, PCGS# 6558, Greysheet# 6683)
Weight: 12.50 grams
