Description
Alluring 1897-O Gem Half Dollar
1897-O 50C MS65 NGC. Despite the low mintage of 632,000 coins, Mint State examples of the 1897-O may be had up through Gem and Premium Gem levels for a price. David and John Feigenbaum posit that this is because early dealers such as B. Max Mehl saved nice pieces of the issue near the time of their production--four years after Augustus Heaton's classic Mint Marks reference altered the collecting landscape forever.This alluring Gem offers silvery, lustrous surfaces lightly tinged with gold patina. Both sides are remarkably pristine and distraction-free, but some localized strike softness shows on the reverse in the usual areas. Census: 7 in 65, 5 finer (3/09).
