Lot 2596
1903 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. Golden sunset toning on both sides. This is a blemish-free case in point of the Barber Proof in this grade: sleek mirrored surface with multiple colors, with glowing bloom that captures the full effect of the careful preservation since it was made. The low mintage holds the key to the mystery why so few exist today in Proof 65 and the fact most have vanished into museum-level collections: 755 proofs minted. Pop 48; 59 finer.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200.
The Greenhill Collection.
