1892 Barber Half Dollar. Proof-66+ (PCGS). CAC. Handsome olive-russet patina blankets much of the obverse, the equally bold reverse dressed in target-like, crimson-mauve and sandy-gold patina. Watery fields and more vivid undertones flash into view as the virtually pristine surfaces dip into a light. Fully struck with outstanding quality and eye appeal. The highest mintage Proof Barber half dollar, the first year 1892 was produced to the extent of 1,245 pieces to meet particularly strong contemporary demand that the Mint anticipated in connection with the launching of the new dime, quarter and half dollar designs that year. A favorite with type collectors for decades, the Proof 1892 is readily obtainable in lower grades but scarce to rare above the Choice level. This premium quality Gem, beautifully toned to boot, is sure to sell for an exceptionally strong bid. Provenance: From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911. PCGS Population: 2; 19 finer in this category (Proof-68 finest). CAC Population: 4; 4. The former total includes coins certified both Proof-66 and Proof-66+.
