Description

1891 Half, MS65 Prooflike
Significant Field-Device Contrast

1891 50C MS65 Prooflike NGC. The 1891 pulled the mintage of half dollars out of the tailspin of the 1880s. For the first time since 1878 the production of halves was substantial; in this case with 200,000 pieces struck. This is an impressive example that is brilliant throughout and a coin that displays significant depth of mirroring in the fields in addition to moderate frost over the devices. Sharply defined, except on the uppermost stars. Census: 3 in 65 Prooflike, only 1 finer (4/12).(Registry values: N2998)
