1896 Barber Half Dollar
Certified CAM Percentage: 20%
Certified DCAM Percentage: 1.7%
Only 762 Proof half dollars were coined during the year, making this a difficult coin to obtain in high grades and with desirable surface qualities. The Deep Cameo percentage is of note, as only 1.7% of certified coins have received this coveted designation.
The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the August 2012 Philadelphia ANA Auction, where it realized $6,697.
