1892 PCGS MS-64.

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 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 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 MS-63/prooflike obverse.

1892 PCGS MS-66.

1892 PF-64 Cameo..

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.
