1902 Barber Half Dollar, MS67
Finest Known at PCGS

1902 50C MS67 PCGS. The obverse has a short die crack through the bust tip, ending in the field before reaching the date or star 13. Both sides of this Superb Gem have bold design definition, with amazing surfaces and color. Considerable bright silver on the obverse intermingles with emerald-green and faint gold. The reverse has less bright silver and more emerald-green. The underlying surfaces are essentially mark free, with frosty luster.

The 1902 Barber half dollar, with more than 4.9 million coined, has the third-highest mintage of any issue in the series behind 1899 and 1908-O. Such a high mintage failed to provide today's collectors with an adequate supply of Gem or finer examples.

Formerly part of the Thaine Price and Steven Duckor Collections, in the Price catalog, David Akers wrote words that we are unable to improve: "This will be far from the highest priced Half Dollar in this set, but it certainly will be among the most difficult to duplicate once this coin is sold." Population: 1 in 67, 0 finer (2/16).
