Lot Description

Beautifully Toned Gem Proof 1911 Half Dollar 1911 Barber Half Dollar. Proof-68 (PCGS). CAC. Extraordinarily well preserved for both the type and issue, this premium Superb Gem also benefits from wonderfully original toning. The obverse is layered in mauve-gray, powder blue and olive-russet, while for the reverse we note intermingled steely-charcoal, cobalt blue and reddish-gold iridescence. Both sides are fully struck with intense reflectivity shining forth from the fields as the surfaces dip into a light. Serene and temptingly close to pristine, it is difficult for us to imagine a more endearing survivor from a mintage of 543 Proofs. PCGS Population: 6; 1 finer in this category (Proof-69). PCGS# 6558.
