Description
1895-O Barber Half, MS66
Important Condition Rarity
1895-O 50C MS66 PCGS Secure. With a substantial mintage of
more than 1.7 million half dollars, the 1895-O is available in a
wide range of grades up to MS63 or even MS64. However, Gem or finer
examples of this variety are important condition rarities. However,
the top grade coins rarely get credit for their importance to
collectors. Just look at the PCGS Population Report that
shows 14 in MS62, 19 in MS63, 18 in MS64, and drops to five in
MS65, and five more graded MS66 and MS67. The 1895-O usually comes
nicely struck for a New Orleans half dollar. This example has
slight weakness at the eagle's right facing claw, but exhibits bold
detail everywhere else. The surfaces are brilliant and untoned with
frosty mint luster. An exceptional example from an exceptional
collection. Population: 3 in 66, 2 finer (11/15).From The Dr. Peter and Janice Shireman Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
