1895 Barber Half Dollar. Proof-67 Ultra Cameo (NGC). Here is a beautiful example of both the type and issue, largely brilliant and pearlescent, with rings of bronze and indigo iridescence accenting the borders The fields are icy and reflective, starkly contrasting with satiny luster on the devices. The intense Ultra Cameo contrast is most dramatic on the reverse. Fully struck with a virtually pristine appearance, this coin will certainly please even the most discerning numismatists. From a Proof mintage of just 880 pieces, the typical survivor of which is not nearly as well preserved or attractive as offered here. This is one of just five coins in the Ultra Cameo category at NGC, with only two of those ranked finer at Proof-68 UCAM. From the Dazzling Rarities Collection.
