Auction Record
$6,325 PR65 02-26-2008 Stack's
Description
A proof striking of J-755, the fourteenth variety in the 1869 half dollar series. The later entries in the program represent increasingly refined design concepts, with Barber narrowing the field of candidates toward the most viable options for potential production adoption. The half dollar's design would ultimately remain in the Seated Liberty format through 1891 before Barber's son Charles introduced the Barber half dollar in 1892.
Rarity Notes
R.6. Approximately 15-20 examples estimated.
