Description
1907-O Barber Half, MS67
Tied for the Finest Certified
From the Friend Collection
1907-O 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Dale Friend and Dr. Peter
Shireman both chose this amazing Superb Gem for their collections,
and it should certainly fit the need of every other Barber
collector. Both sides have frosty silver luster hidden beneath
wonderful light green toning with accents of gold and pale lilac.
It is exceptionally well defined for any Barber half dollar.Dr. Shireman provides a medical observation:
"Many of the New Orleans coins produced in 1907 and 1908 have 'mumps,' a peculiar raised area on the cheek and neck area of the obverse that experts think is due to die buckling. The location and the bulge seen on such coins reminds people of what the viral disease, mumps, looks like clinically. I can attest to what mumps looks like as my five brothers and I had mumps on both sides when we were in grade school. Our coin does not have mumps."
This example and the Duckor coin are the only two 1907-O half dollars that PCGS has certified as MS67 (10/15). NGC has also certified two submissions as MS67.
Ex: Dale Friend (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 2948 as MS66 PCGS; Harry Laibstain (1/7/2009).
