Description
Elegant Choice 1896-O Half
1896-O 50C MS64 PCGS. With a mintage of under a million pieces and few examples saved, it is little wonder that the 1896-O half dollar would be an elusive issue, but few non-specialists realize its condition rarity in Choice and better states. This interesting near-Gem has beguiling luster, powerful with distinct elements of satin. The peripheral toning is lovely, gold-peach all around with a leading edge of azure at the right obverse. The untoned centers are pleasingly preserved, and the portrait sports a razor-sharp strike. Outstanding quality and eye appeal for the designation. Population: 9 in 64, 6 finer (10/08).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24LW, PCGS# 6475, Greysheet# 6586)
Weight: 12.50 grams
