Description
1892-O Barber Half, Good 6
Rare Micro O Variety
1892-O 50C Micro O, FS-501, Good 6 NGC. There is little
middle ground for the rare Micro O Barber halves. With only a few
exceptions, it is found in either well-worn condition or in higher
grades. The high-grade pieces were preserved early on, since
collectors were aware of the variety almost upon issue (thanks to
Augustus Heaton's Mint Marks book, published in 1893). Those
that escaped the clutches of well-connected collectors slipped by
unnoticed by the general public, often until worn smooth. This
example is a tad better than that, assigned the Good 6 grade by
NGC. Light silver-gray surfaces show glimpses of almond-gold at the
borders. The reverse rims merge with the Legend, but all of the
motifs are present and the diagnostic quarter-sized mintmark is
sharp.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 391216, Base PCGS# 6463, Greysheet# 351943)
