Description
Richly Toned MS67 1899-S Half
Ex: Dale Friend
1899-S 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Friend. The 1899-S is rarer
overall than the 1899-O, although the two issues are similar in
high-grade rarity. Both issues are scarce in top grades. PCGS has
only certified 16 examples in MS65 or finer, and just two pieces in
Superb Gem MS67. A single finer piece has been certified, and the
1899-S is one of just 10 issues (11 coins) that PCGS has certified
in MS68.Dale Friend's 1899-S Barber half is finer than the Norweb-Price coin, the Eliasberg piece that J.M. Clapp bought directly from the San Francisco Mint, and the James Bennett Pryor coin that Bowers and Merena sold in January 1896.
Both sides have lovely heather and champagne patina with peripheral russet, steel, and lime toning. It is a well struck piece with bold design details. Population: 2 in 67, 1 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N7079)
