Description
1896-O Barber Half Dollar, AU58
Lustrous and Lightly Toned
1896-O 50C AU58 PCGS. Belying its mintage of 924,000 coins,
the 1896-O Barber half is rare in any Mint State grade, and even in
the upper AU grades. Problem-free AU58 examples of this date are
far more difficult to acquire than most collectors realize, as PCGS
and NGC combined report only 13 such coins (10/25). This piece
displays satiny fields and peripheral frames of russet and
blue-green toning, leaving the interiors ivory-champagne. Stars 3
and 11 on the obverse, and eagle's right (facing) shoulder on the
reverse, show the usual strike softness typically associated with
this 1890s New Orleans issue. PCGS Population: 9 in 58, 25 finer
(10/25).(Registry values: N991)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24LW, PCGS# 6475, Greysheet# 6586)
Weight: 12.50 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
