1895 Barber Half Dollar. Proof-66 (PCGS).Dressed in rich copper-rose, pewter gray and deep charcoal patina, this dreamy coin also reveals iridescent undertones of blue, pink, lilac and apricot as the surfaces dip into a light. Fully struck, as befits the method of manufacture, and expertly preserved to further tempt the high grade specimen type collector. Proof mintage: 880 pieces, the typical survivor of which is not nearly as attractive as offered here.
