Lot 1574
1901 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 68. Only 813 Proofs struck. Old holder. Deep, radiant original toning on both sides. The surfaces have a bright, metallic, satin-like shimmer beneath the superb color. No need to worry about an unsuccessful strike left by the rebound of the dies that struck this, since even a cursory examination of the piece reveals nice Proof-clarity of detail, including the hair and LIBERTY, all stars, and even the finest engraving on the eagle shows crystal clarity from a smart impact by the coining dies. We have a premonition that this will attract a lot of interest. Pop 6; 1 finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
