Proof Barber Half Dollars
1893 50C PR66+ PCGS. CAC. A conditionally rare Premium Gem example of this early proof Barber half dollar, showing razor-sharp, frosty design elements and deeply reflective fields. Modest cameo contrast emerges from deep toning on the obverse. This piece shows hues of sun-gold, violet, ocean-blue, and lavender-gray, with mint-green also seen in the reverse peripheries. Eye appeal and surface quality are exceptional. Population: 17 in 66 (1 in 66+), 14 finer. CAC: 4 in 66, 8 finer (10/16).
