Barber Half Dollars

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 479		1893-S Barber Half Dollar. VF-30. Somber gray toning from a past cleaning, but still a scarce and desirable coin. Only 740,000 were struck, most of which circulated down to very low grades. One for the date collector who appreciates rarity and value. Hints of luster in the lettering, and retoned to a steel gray color. View details	Realized $265
Lot 480		1895 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 67. A vividly iridescent half dollar with a toning arc through Liberty's face, showing bright silver on the right side, and behind the arc the colors are bright blues and reds. On the back side, the toning is mostly an exquisite bright blue. Pretty. View details	Realized $7,763
Lot 481		1896 Barber Half Dollar. AU-55. Silvery white surfaces, sharp details, a nice type coin for the grade. View details	Realized $311
Lot 482		1899 Barber Half Dollar. EF-45. An old-time piece that must have rested for years in a wooden drawer, to take on the hard-gray color it shows. Has the details of a nearly new coin that's sharply struck, but the luster is gone. Very clean. View details	Realized $196
Lot 483		1900 Barber Half Dollar. AU-50. Steel gray in color, apparently cleaned and starting to retone. There is a neck nick on Liberty. View details	Realized $230
Lot 484		1902 Barber Half Dollar. Proof 64. Glorious and bright golden blue iridescent toning in a halo effect on the obverse, but just covering the top half of the reverse (the lower half an elegant gray). A few tiny hairlines but very deep mirrors. This is about as pretty a Gem Proof as may be found. View details	Realized $978
Lot 485		1905 Barber Half Dollar. Proof 63. Pale golden blue toning, some hairlines and a few contact marks as well. View details	Realized $776
Lot 486		1907 Barber Half Dollar. Proof 63. Medium gray with wild splashes of dark blue. View details	Realized $437
Lot 487		1909 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Satiny white luster on both sides, and without toning. Sharply impressed and nearly a gem. An important type coin. View details	Realized $978
Lot 488		1909-S Barber Half Dollar. Sharpness of EF-40. Harshly cleaned but retaining lots of detail. Scarcer date. View details	Realized $58
Lot 489		1913 Barber Half Dollar. Proof 64. Vividly toned to a bright golden blue halo on the obverse, while the other side is more subdued. A near-gem showing only faint lines on the face from an album slide. It's still a beauty! View details	Realized $978
