1892 Barber Half Dollar - Please Evaluate The Toning For Premium And Type

Thank-you Panzaldi! Yeah, I agree about the last photo being much more clear.. it just doesn't capture the toning I wanted to illustrate - the electric blue / pink hues. Your 100% correct, about the video.. I will need to figure out how to post to YouTube and then provide the link here going forward.

Any thoughts on the distracting cheek / neck marks and do you feel it devalues this coin? Did I pay too much at $1400? I mean, I realize those marks are not in an ideal position - tbh, they are much more pronounced under magnification and though you could still see them, in the moment on the coin show floor... the toning it what kinda caused me from excitement to look past or be oblivious to them.

I still feel this is to be expected in PR63? They are either going to be on the devices or fields, but from what a read, these proofs were susceptible in some regards to many hairlines. To search for another 1892PR63 in better shape with toning might have took a long time.

I hope I did not pay too much, but would prefer an honest opinion. All the other Barbers at the show were $4,000, $5,000 and lacked the character that this coin has.

Thanks again!

Not a boring coin at all. There is an amazing variety from different perspectives!

the auction prices listed for PR63 are all right around $1000 however, these prices are several years old. PCGS lists a retail price of $1525 with 82 grade PR63. ebay shows on one PR63 sold and it went down for $1500 and really has no toning so. I dont think you overpaid for it
