    10714832_large.jpg 1892 Barber Half Dollar MS65 Tripled Die Reverse FS-801. Tied for finest known according to PCGS Coin Facts, but there's an MS67 floating around out there without the variety on the holder.

    As much as I am disinterested in mint errors, that is a gorgeous coin, variety aside.

    Thanks! The Truviews show the color, but not the luster on this piece. The obverse luster cartwheels in-hand, and the underlying luster is fairly reflective on the reverse, too.

    He will if I send a picture of it in the original holder and tell him in an email that I added the variety. Always worked for me.

    A really nice coin! IMO, with the Variety Attribution on the NEW label, and CAC stickering it again, I feel that your value would be closer to the $3,100 that PCGS lists for an MS-65, rather than what they list for the FS-801 in the last recorded HA Auction.
