Lot Title: 1895 PCGS MS-65 CAC.
Description: Struck to an exceedingly high degree of accuracy, only a few tiny wispy linear marks on Liberty's portrait appear worthy of mention with regard to technical limitations. Although considered one of the most common dates with the series, 1895 halves assuredly do not come THIS nice all that often. Swirling luster manages to remain bright and pronounced despite the acquisition of a relatively thick pile of toast-gold and platinum-blue patina across the entire coin. The reverse features particularly appealing jade-blue color that mingles with the smaller devices and really powers the eye-appeal. (PCGS# 006471)
Low Estimate: $3,000.00

1895 PCGS AU-58.
An AU-58 should look like a low-end UNC within a given series, and that is the case here. Most collectors would look at this half-dollar and guess-the-grade as MS-61 or so, but PCGS correctly...

1895 PCGS PF-64.
Visual impact is a lot more dramatic than expected of PF-64, with only very sparse hairlines preventing a fully GEM grade. A "cameo" designation is sorely tempting, since the portraits are finely...

1895 MS-60.
Fully draped in dusky grey patina, underlying luster nonetheless remains potent, especially on the reverse, where the cartwheel effect is prominent. The rims give way to plush tone that yields...
