Auction 366 | Lot 7120 » Half Dollars » Barber Half Dollars

1892-S 50C MS63 PCGS. Challenging first year issue. Reflective deep silver surfaces radiate subdued mint bloom. This finish gives the whole coin a frosted appearance. A sharply impressed survivor from an original mintage of 1 million coins. Population: 26 in 63, 40 finer (12/04).

Auction 366 | Lot 7121 » Half Dollars » Barber Half Dollars

1892-S 50C MS64 PCGS. Only 1.029 million pieces were struck of this first-year issue from the San Francisco Mint. This is a nicely lustrous example that is sharply struck on each side and shows a moderate amount of gray-golden coloration. Actually quite an attractive example of this much scarcer S-mint Half. Population: 28 in 64, 13 finer (1/05). (PCGS# 6464)

1893 50C MS64 NGC. Exceptionally lustrous, the original mint sheen being apparent even through the multiple layers of toning over the obverse.

Auction 366 | Lot 7126 » Half Dollars » Barber Half Dollars

1893-S 50C MS64 PCGS. An early branch mint delivery in the Barber Half Dollar series, the '93-S undoubtedly saw extensive circulation at the time of issue. Most survivors are well worn, and the date is scarce in circulated grades above the Fine level. Perhaps needless to say, Mint State survivors are rare, particularly in grades at or near the Gem threshold. This is an exceptionally smooth near-Gem. It remains essentially untoned, and is well preserved and nearly blemish-free. No striking weakness seems apparent on either side. A significant opportunity for the serious Barber half dollar specialist. Population: 8 in 64, 5 finer (12/04).

Auction 366 | Lot 7132 » Half Dollars » Barber Half Dollars

1896-S 50C MS64 PCGS. This is a scarce issue despite a relatively generous mintage figure, the coin becoming a rarity in better grades of Mint State condition. The coin offered here displays good luster on silver-white surfaces, on which light but non-distracting milling marks appear on Liberty's neck and lower cheek.

1897 50C MS65 PCGS. Richly toned and well defined throughout. A plethora of sunset-red color dominates each side with an accent of blue at the borders. The satiny surfaces are smooth and a couple of small die cracks are seen at the top of the reverse. A few wispy abrasions are noted on Liberty's cheek and neck, the only grade-limiting factors seen on this very scarce Gem example. Population: 19 in 65, 6 finer (1/05). (PCGS# 6477)

Auction 366 | Lot 7135 » Half Dollars » Barber Half Dollars

1897-O 50C MS64 PCGS. Lacking the obvious key dates that the Barber dime and quarter series contain, the '97-O stands out as one of the more difficult issues in all grades among the Barber half dollars. Softly struck on the right side of the eagle's design, and on Liberty's mouth, but crisp elsewhere. Bold frosty luster illumines the untoned surfaces, and there are minimal marks overall, with two or three faint vertical streaks on the portrait. Population: 16 in 64, 14 finer (12/04).

Auction 366 | Lot 7136 » Half Dollars » Barber Half Dollars

1898 50C MS66 NGC. This is hardly a rarity among Barber Half Dollars with the mintage of business strikes approaching 3 million coins. The exact quantity was 2,956,000 coins. Despite the substantial mintage, less than 10 examples have been certified by both PCGS and NGC in grades higher than MS65. This Premium Gem is sharply struck with pale gold toning across the entire obverse and reverse surface. The peripheries have lovely rainbow accents. Beneath the toning is splendid satiny luster. This is a wonderful Gem that will please even the fastidious. Population: 2 in 66, 0 finer (1/05). (PCGS# 6480)

1899-O 50C MS64 PCGS. A difficult New Orleans issue in the higher grades of Mint State. Fully struck with lavish reflectivity in the fields, lightly frosted devices, and attractive russet color near the reverse peripheries. The grade is limited by the presence of a few small handling marks, including one on Liberty's cheekbone that is mildly distracting. Population: 19 in 64, 9 finer (12/04).

1899-S 50C MS63 PCGS. The moderately bright fields shimmer as the coin turns beneath the light, this despite warm golden-gray patina on the obverse. A well produced example with sharp overall definition, some faint roller marks (as struck) on Liberty's cheek are noted for accuracy alone. Attractive for the grade.

1902-O 50C MS64 PCGS. This piece is well brought up on the obverse, except for the 0 in the date, with most of the striking softness reserved for the reverse. The fields have taken on a high gloss sheen that renders a semi-prooflike finish on the reverse, visible even beneath the layerings of milky toning that envelop the creamy-colored coin. A rarely seen grade for this better date in the Barber half series. Population: 8 in 64, 4 finer (12/04).
