1894 Barber Half Dollar
Certified CAM Percentage: 21%
Certified DCAM Percentage: 0.5%
The third issue in the Proof Barber half dollar series, the 1894 has a mintage of 972 pieces. Survivors in Cameo and Deep Cameo designations are few and far between. The average collector may be required to settle for a regular proof, while collectors putting together a top-notch set should always go for the DCAM option, if available.
The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the March 2012 Baltimore Auction, where it realized $4,887.
