1892 PCGS MS-64.
|
|
1892 ranks among the common Barber half-dollars, but many collectors prefer the first-of-issue year for their type sets. No disappointment here, as this inaugural example displays superb proportions... |

1892 PCGS MS-64 (CAC).

1892 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Seemingly a shoe-in for upgrade consideration, the whole coin shows a notable lack of marks, especially the reverse, which appears to grade fully MS-65 all by itself. However, some faint slidemark... |

1892 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
7070 Collection. Important to type collectors as the first date in the series, many will also be drawn to the generally white and moderately lustrous appearance. The obverse bears slightly better... |

1892 PCGS PF-64 CAC.
|
|

1892 AU, 1894-O AU details/altered surfaces, and 1912-D AU...
|
|
1892 provides much proof character, and were it not for faint rub on the cheek, this would be a really choice BU coin. 1894 has AU details, but has been rather badly mistreated and heavily retoned in... |

1892 NGC MS-62.

1892 NGC AU-58.
|
|
One can easily surmise that the submitter to NGC of this inaugural Barber half-dollar expected a BU grade, since the surfaces retain outstanding white brilliance and a full helping of cartwheel... |

1892 MS-60.
|
|
Despite considerable toning on both sides, it is readily apparent that the obverse gives a dead-on impersonation of a proof. Indeed, the obverse might well offer the equivalent of "deep cameo"... |

1892 AU.
|
|

1892 PCGS MS-64.

|
Cartwheel effect labors beneath a persistent veneer of graphite-grey patina that occasionally gathers into even darker areas on the design highpoints. Some of the peripheral areas actually manage to... |

1892 PCGS MS-66.

1892 AU.
|
|
A moderately thick layer of dusky olive-gold patina drapes across both sides, yet fails to completely suppress underlying cartwheel effect. A shallow, intermittent hairline scratch extends from the... |

1892 PF-64 Cameo..
|
|
Removed from an NGC PF-64 CAM holder. While the contrast is undeniable, this coin does have a few more hairlines than might be expected of the grade, though it is almost impossible for a coin of this... |

1892 and 1894 Barber half-dollars
|
|
The 1892 grades VF-30, and despite a very faint cleaning, it need not be "net graded". A grade of XF-45 for the 1894 requires additional mention of several pinpricks on the portrait that detract a... |

1892 AU-58.
|
|
Although the reverse is Mint State and actually close to MS-62, the pale orchid color that bathes the obverse downplays a faint amount of rub on Liberty’s cheek and lower neck. Brimming with luster... |
