Description
1899-S Barber Half, MS67
Few Known of Comparable Quality
Ex: Friend
1899-S 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Friend. The 1899-S is scarcer
overall than the 1899-O, although the two issues are comparably
rare in high grades. The Friend coin is well-within the Condition
Census for the 1899-S, and is arguably finer than the Norweb-Price
coin, the Eliasberg piece that J.M. Clapp bought directly from the
San Francisco Mint, and the James Bennett Pryor coin that Bowers
and Merena sold in January 1996. Both sides showcase lovely heather
and champagne patina with peripheral russet, steel, and lime
toning. The design elements are boldly rendered and the surfaces
are free of distractions. Population: 2 in 67, 1 finer (11/15).Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 3883; Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 1134; Greensboro Collection, Part V (Heritage, 8/2015), lot 4080.(Registry values: N7079)
