1894 Barber Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). A positively attractive coin, the obverse exhibits bulls-eye toning in vivid cobalt blue, pinkish-rose and reddish-apricot colors. For the reverse we note reddish-apricot and powder blue peripheral toning around a brilliant center. Both sides are intensely lustrous with a full strike and smooth mint frost. Despite its status as one of the more readily obtainable 1890s Barber half dollar issues in Mint State, the 1894 is scarce at this level of preservation. In the finest Mint State grades, as here, this issue is an undeniable condition rarity that is seldom offered, especially with such outstanding visual appeal.
