1910. NGC graded Proof 68. Lovely rainbow toning on both sides. Only 551 Proofs struck. Among Barber half dollars, the 1910 P-Mint is elusive in currency strike form, placing shifting demand to the Proofs that have survived. Only 418,000 business strikes were made, one of the lowest totals in the Barber half dollar behind the 1892-O and the P-mint 1913, 1914, and 1915 issues. That said, there were few Proofs issued in 1910 (see above): positioning 1910 as the fifth lowest Proof mintage within the series. The obverse and reverse of this strikingly gorgeous Gem have toning to die for, supported by flashy mirror luster that helps to enliven the colors. Both sides show, of course, needle-sharp detail. Tied for the finest certified Proof 1910 Barber half dollar. Pop 7; none finer.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
