Description 1912 50C PR66 Cameo NGC. CAC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Only 700 proof Barber half dollars were struck in 1912 and few survivors show the bold cameo contrast of this delightful Premium Gem. The sharply detailed frosty design elements seem to float on the deeply mirrored liquid fields, and the well-preserved surfaces display accents of iridescent cobalt-blue and emerald-green toning. Census: 5 in 66 (1 in 66+) Cameo, 4 finer (10/13). Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $4.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $4,846.88 . Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.
