1892-O Barber Half Dollar, MS66
First Year of Design

1892-O 50C MS66 PCGS. The Barber design was introduced in 1892, making this issue an important one for mintmark type collectors. Some pieces were undoubtedly saved as first-year novelties by the general public, but the 1892-O is seldom encountered at the MS66 level of preservation today. This spectacular Premium Gem displays vibrant satiny mint luster on both sides, with a few hints of lavender-gray and golden-tan toning. The design elements are well-detailed, with a touch of softness on some star centrils and the eagle's claw. No significant distractions are noted and visual appeal is quite strong. Population: 3 in 66, 2 finer (6/13).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24LG, PCGS# 6462, Greysheet# 6577)

Weight: 12.50 grams
