Lot Description

1895 Barber Half Dollar. Proof-67 (NGC). A breathtaking example of both the type and issue, this target-toned beauty exhibits shades of bold cobalt blue, antique copper, rose-apricot and reddish-gold. Direct lighting calls forth a cameo finish that goes unmentioned on the NGC insert. Fully struck with a virtually pristine appearance, this coin will certainly please even the most discerning of numismatists. Proof mintage: 880 pieces, the typical survivor of which is not nearly as well preserved or attractive as offered here. NGC Census: 22; 12 finer in this category (Proof-68 * finest). PCGS# 6542. NGC ID: 24NX. Click here for certification details from NGC.
