Unimprovable 1912 Barber Half, PR68

1912 50C PR68 PCGS. Ex: Dale Friend. This offering of a proof Barber half is in the highest numeric grade ever assigned by PCGS. To be precise, that service has certified 50 coins in all PR68 grades (including Cameo and Deep Cameo) as of (7/08). This piece is covered with deep olive-green toning that predominates, with splashes of violet, steel-blue, ochre, sunset-orange, and magenta. As expected, extensive perusal under magnification fails to reveal even the slightest distraction. The strike is essentially full, save for the usual right shield corner that reveals trivial weakness. This piece and a PR68 Cameo are tied for finest numeric grades of the issue. Statistically unimprovable!(Registry values: N4719)
