Lot 1057
1892 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. First year of issue of the new Barber design, and some were hoarded as the first of their kind. This one is bright white with a delicate ring of gold around the obverse and reverse periphery. A couple of lines and ticks on the face, but even so, this one could grade higher as the surfaces are exceptional. PCGS has graded 52 this high, with 33 higher.
Estimated Value $1,700 - 2,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Ira S. Reed on February 26, 1944 for $3.00.
