The 1898 vies with the 1896 and 1897 as the most consistently well produced and attractive for the type. The typical survivor of this 735-piece delivery is fully struck, the dies also imparting pronounced field to device contrast that is worthy of at least a Cameo designation by today's third party grading standards. Whether toned or brilliant, virtually all Proof 1898 half dollars that we have handled over the years have possessed exceptional visual appeal.
