Description
1893 Barber Half Dollar. MS-65 (NGC). CAC.
This brilliant and beautiful example exhibits subtle semi-prooflike reflectivity in the fields. The finish is otherwise frosty in texture, with both sides revealing delightful cartwheel visual effects under a light. Striking detail is razor sharp to full throughout which is rare in an early date circulation strike Barber half dollar. Superior surface preservation further sets this coin apart from the typical survivor of this 1,826,000-piece issue. While the 1893 is one of the more frequently encountered early date Barber half dollars in Mint State, few have been certified finer than MS-64. This is an impressive coin that will be just right for another highly regarded cabinet.
PCGS# 6465. NGC ID: 24LK.
NGC Census: 11; 7 finer (MS-67 finest).
From the Knohl Collection.
