An unexpected rise in demand caused a small spike in the mintage of Proof 1894 Half Dollars to 972 pieces (this turned out to be the second highest Proof mintage of the entire Barber Half Dollar series). Most 1894 Half Dollar Proofs are brilliant. Less than a fourth are Cameos and just a very few pieces have contras strong enougbh to be called Deep Cameo.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
