Description
1896-S Barber Half Dollar. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.
Lest our multiple offerings for high grade examples in this sale give the wrong impression, we stress that the 1896-S is one of the leading condition rarities among mintmarked Barber half dollars of the 1890s. And this is a glorious near-Gem whose brilliant centers are framed by halos of vivid olive-blue and reddish-apricot peripheral iridescence. Generally sharp in detail, although close inspection reveals some faint planchet roller marks (as made) in the center of the obverse that were not struck out in the press. The dies imparted full luster in a lively satin texture.
PCGS# 6476. NGC ID: 24LX.
PCGS Population: 2; 19 finer (MS-67 finest). CAC Stickered Population: 3; 5. The former total includes coins certified both MS-64 and MS-64+.
From the Srotag Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Property of a Lady, February 2018 Long Beach Signature Auction, lot 3923.
