1896-S Barber Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.

Landmark 1896-S Barber Half Dollar Ex Clapp-Eliasberg-Gardner Acquired Directly from the San Francisco Mint in 1896 1896-S Barber Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Blushes of playful pinkish-rose, heather and powder blue mingle with dominant toning in iridescent champagne-gold. The finish is strongly frosted with subtle reflective qualities in the fields. Sharply struck and preserved with the utmost care since leaving the San Francisco Mint in 1896, this is an exquisite coin. With few exceptions, all Barber half dollar issues are scarce to rare in the finer circulated and Mint State grades. The 1896-S looms large in such highly select company, ranking among the most elusive issues of its type even in the most heavily worn condition. In attractive and expertly preserved MS-66, the example we offer here ranks among our most significant Barber half dollar offerings of all times. Worthy of consideration among even the most selective collectors, and equally worthy of the strongest bid. Provenance: Ex J.M.
