1897 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. If you are a type collector, then here is perfect coin for you. Perhaps one in ten Proof Barber half dollars qualify as Cameo, with strong contrast between the frosted devices and mirror fields, and these tend to be the most beautiful examples when found in high grades, as seen here. NGC has graded only 5 this high as Cameos, with a single coin graded higher, there are also some Ultra Cameos, which are first strikes, and there are six graded as PR-67 or higher in UC by NGC. This particular coin has a light ring of gold around the periphery, and is generally untoned with glowing white frost on the devices and well mirrored fields surrounding. As pretty as one could hope for, and highly eye appealing.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
