Watch List notes:

Proof Barber Half Dollars
1898 50C PR65 NGC. A faint hint of gold patina delicately graces the fields of this boldly contrasted proof, although the cameo effect is unrecognized with a formal designation. The relief elements exhibit a thick layer of frost and complete detail, the latter being expected of a proof. The 1898 was struck to the extent of 735 pieces.
