1897-S 50C MS68 NGC. The 1897-S is well known as a scarce issue in mint condition, and especially so in MS65 and better grades. To underscore this, there are only 78 coins (minus an unknown number of resubmissions) in MS60 and better grades by both of the major services (11/06). Above MS64, only 26 coins have been certified. This is the finest example certified at both services. The mintage was a generous 933,900 pieces, but apparently the vast majority were dropped into circulation and stayed there. Of the coins that were set aside, a great many '97-S halves have been cleaned and stripped of their original surfaces; thus, it is difficult to locate a coin with original color.

The surfaces on this piece are nothing short of extraordinary, as one would expect from a coin in this superior grade. The fields are bright and prooflike with moderate mint frost over the devices. Each side shows a delicate interplay of blue and rose. The brightness in the fields makes the color on this piece especially vibrant. The striking details are especially bold on each side, with the devices sharply delineated from the bright fields. An exceptional Barber half of any date. (PCGS# 6479)

1897-S 50C MS67 PCGS. Ex: Eliasberg. The 1897-S is another famous semi-key in the Barber half series. Just under a million pieces were produced, and today only 12-16 MS65 and better examples are known. This is obviously one of the finest coins extant with two other PCGS coins so graded and two other MS67 NGC coins certified with only one finer (11/04). As one would expect, the grade and desirability of this coin is directly linked to its impeccable provenance: the San Francisco mint in the year of issue. Since that time it has only been in the Clapp, Eliasberg, and Hugon collections. The most dominant feature is the smooth, frosted mint luster--this is true even when one factors in the lovely overlay of champagne-golden and lilac coloration scattered over each side. Sharply struck also with a few tiny pinprick abrasions on the obverse (get out your magnifier). The fields on each side are semi-prooflike with just a bit more depth of reflectivity on the reverse. An outstanding 1897-S half.
Ex: Purchased by J.M. Clapp directly from the San Francisco Mint in November 1897; John H. Clapp; Clapp estate, 1942, to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 4/97), lot 2081, where it brought $15,950. (PCGS# 6479)

1897-S 50C MS67 NGC. The '97-S is an important semi-key in the Barber half dollar series. Fewer than one million pieces were struck, and relatively few Mint State coins are known. In MS67, the state of preservation of the present coin, only five examples have been certified, along with one finer. The coin in this lot shows radiant luster and sharply delineated design features. The only hint of softness is seen in the upper right (facing) corner of the shield and adjacent wing feathers. Variegated pastels of gold and powder-blue patination bathe impeccably preserved surfaces. Some barely discernible handling marks on Liberty's cheek and neck are mentioned for accuracy. Census: 2 in 67, 1 finer (11/06). (PCGS# 6479)

1897-S 50C MS67 NGC. The '97-S is an important semi-key in the Barber half dollar series. Fewer than one million pieces were struck, and relatively few Mint State coins are known. NGC and PCGS currently have seen less than 80 examples in Uncirculated condition, and only 25 of these are Gem or better specimens. In MS67, the state of preservation of the present coin, only five examples have been certified, along with one finer.

The coin in this lot shows radiant luster and sharply delineated design features. The only hint of softness is seen in the upper right (facing) corner of the shield and adjacent wing feathers. Variegated pastels of gold and powder-blue patination bathe impeccably preserved surfaces. Some barely discernible handling marks on Liberty's cheek and neck are mentioned for accuracy.

Auction 336 | Lot 6687 » Half Dollars » Barber Half Dollars
1897-S 50C MS66 NGC. Despite a slightly higher mintage of 933,900 pieces, the 1897-S is roughly equal in rarity to the 1897-O (632,000 coins struck) in most grades. The certified population of this date dwindles rapidly as one approaches the Gem threshold.

Both the obverse and reverse are frosty-white in sheen with barely the lightest hint of color. An uncommonly sharp piece, all details are well defined, save for a bit of minimal softness on the eagle's left leg. A couple of small abrasions on Liberty's cheek and jaw are mentioned for pedigree purposes. A coin that is earmarked for inclusion in a high quality date set. Population: 3 in 66, 2 finer (11/03).
