The first-year proof issue in the Barber half dollar series was a well-made issue, and high-grade pieces were often preserved for the novelty of the new design. However, premium gem examples with Cameo contrast are scarce, even more so with CAC endorsement! Water reflectivity shines forth when light hits the mirrored fields. Sharply embossed reliefs are delicately frosted and both sides feature deep teal, magenta, and rose-gold tints. The contrast is still apparent through the deep toning and the eye appeal fantastic! - Barber Half Dollar
