Description

Satiny MS64 1893-S Barber Half

1893-S 50C MS64 PCGS. Satiny and attractively toned in a medley of cream-gray, antique-gold, heather, and sky-blue toning. The strike is uniformly sharp and only the presence of several faint marks on Liberty's cheek deny Gem status. The low mintage '93-S Barber half lacks the immense popularity of its more famous Morgan dollar counterpart, but is actually of comparable rarity in Choice Uncirculated and finer condition. Just 740,000 pieces were produced in the second year of the series, and it is uncertain that there were any Barber half collectors that would have deliberately saved Mint State examples from the San Francisco Mint. Population: 15 in 64, 6 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N2998)
