Lot Description
1896 Barber Half Dollar. Proof-66 (PCGS). A find for the Gem proof type collector, this early date Barber Half is fully struck with only minimal toning in pale-silver tinting. The reverse is fully cameo in finish, and we even see some semblance of field-to-device contrast on the obverse at certain angles. A pretty piece with none but a few wispy hairlines.
