Lot Description

Among the FINEST graded at PCGS for the date. Displaying a pearly originality, and thickly frosted, the surfaces have a pleasing silver, olive, russet, with lilac iridescence. Even using a strong glass, we cannot find anything but the most insignificant abrasion. The eye appeal is strong on this early high grade Barber half. PCGS 11, NGC 5, CAC 10. PCGS has graded 3 finer, two in MS66+ and one in MS67. Prior to its most recent auction appearance, this GEM has realized between $4,677 and $5,175. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,000; other examples have sold in the $4,500 to $5,500 range. Bound for a fine set of Barber halves! Cert. Number 50194722 PCGS # 6465
