Not Sold Description
Brilliant Prooflike Gem 1897-S Half Dollar Rarity
1897-S 50C MS66 NGC. The branch mint issues coined in 1897 are both important rarities among Barber half dollars and are seldom encountered in Gem quality. While this is especially true of the New Orleans Mint issue, those from San Francisco are also elusive and desirable. This Gem has fully brilliant white luster, prooflike fields, and sharp design elements. A few miniscule imperfections are visible. Although a few higher grade examples have been certified, this is a specimen that will surely please almost any collector. Population: 3 in 66, 3 finer (9/04).(#6479) (Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24M2, PCGS# 6479, GSID# 6589)
