Gem Quality 1898 Barber Half Dollar

1898 50C MS65 PCGS. This is a surprisingly scarce issue in Gem quality. Over the years, we have handled very few such coins. There are many scarce and rare dates within the Barber half dollar series, and often the only way to recognize which are rare and which are plentiful is through experience in handling these coins over many years. This is a splendid Gem with pale gold color and gorgeous rainbow highlights. A sharply struck example, all design elements are boldly defined.
