Half Dollars 1895 PCGS graded Proof 65. <b>Eight hundred eighty Proofs is not very many when one considers the millions of collectors today and the potential for greater numbers in future years following the influence of the new Statehood quarter dollar phenomenon. But 880 was the limited number of Proof 1895 half dollars minted; of those, as anyone can tell you, there are possibly fewer than 100 Gems remaining, coins that grade Proof 65 or higher by the strict standards adhering today. This is one of the handsomest toned Proofs you will see: the obverse is deep steel and blue with shimmering iridescence (some of it coppery), with the reverse lighter in color and sporting a spectrum that crosses from amber gold to sleek lavender then scintillating blue. Centers are sharp, as are peripheral areas, with each star, each leaf, each individual letter in the legends crisp. The fields are quite mirrorlike and beautiful as well.</b> <p align="center">Superior Galleries was founded in 1929 and has been a leader in
