Lot 1311
1892. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck with even toning. Each side displays lovely color that is boosted by frosted mint luster; undiminished, it shimmers under reflected light. Sharply defined throughout, as are most P-mint 1892 halves, there are no obvious areas of weakness on this Gem coin.
The basic obverse design of the Barber silver coinage consisted of a Liberty head with a cap and wreath. This figure was inspired both by classical Greek and Roman models and by the designs of various 19th-century French coinage. The word "LIBERTY" appeared on the headband in incuse; since it wears relatively quickly in circulation, it is often used by numismatists to help determine the condition of circulated coins. The Liberty head is flanked by six stars on the left and seven on the right, and the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" appears above it. The date is centered below the figure. Pop 91; 54 finer (PCGS # 6461) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100.
