1896 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 66 Cameo. Intense rainbow toning on both sides. Only 762 Proofs issued. Look where you may Barber's austere portrait of Liberty is well frosted, as is the reverse eagle; moreover, there is a light dusting of rich toning covering both sides. The mirrors are deep and reflective. They verge on what is commonly referred to as "superb" in a slightly higher grade coin, with strong cameo contrast being the result. You will probably not see a more elegant Proof 66 1896 half dollar anytime soon! Pop 7; 3 finer in 67 (PCGS # 86543) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500.
