Premium Gem 1905-S Barber Half

1905-S 50C MS66 PCGS. The 1905-S Barber half dollar is a fairly high-mintage issue for an S-mint, with nearly 2.5 million pieces struck. But for a relatively high-mintage issue, there are surprisingly few high-grade Mint State pieces certified.
The issue generally comes with a good strike and nice luster, but pieces sometimes are found with planchet striations. This piece is fully struck with thick, frosted luster and gray-ivory surfaces accented by golden-brown and pale blue peripheral toning. Were it not for a minuscule reeding mark on Liberty's cheek, we would not be surprised to see this attractive Premium Gem in an MS67 holder. Population: 3 in 66, 3 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24MT, PCGS# 6503, Greysheet# 6605)

Weight: 12.50 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
