| Description |
189350C Tripled Die Reverse, FS-801, MS64 NGC. Despite the substantial mintage of 1.8 million pieces, the 1893 Barber half dollar is a scarce issue in MS64 condition. This attractive Choice example displays sharply detailed design elements and well-preserved, lustrous surfaces, under vivid shades of pink, sea-green, amber, and magenta toning. The reverse peripheral legends are die tripled, though undesignated as such on the NGC insert. Census: 32 in 64 (3 in 64+), 16 finer (8/18). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15579 (realized $1980).
