<B>1898 50C PR68 NGC.</B></I> Though silver proof sets fell out of favor with the advent of the Barber design, specimens from the early years of that era are noted today for their consistently excellent workmanship. The 735 halves struck for 1898 are no exception, and the issue has yielded a number of high-end survivors.<BR> The most immediately visible facet of this representative is its spectacular palette. Both sides display vivid gold-orange, turquoise, rose, violet, and cerulean toning. Strong reflectivity from beneath the patina gives the coin an aura of marvelous vibrancy, and the piece's practically immaculate preservation only underscores its visual appeal. NGC has graded just 10 specimens as Proof 68 with none finer, while PCGS has certified no pieces above Proof 67 (9/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Charles E.
