Description
Scarce Gem 1900-O Barber Half
1900-O 50C MS65 PCGS. The 1900-O is one of the very scarce Barber half issues in Mint State, keeping company with other elusive issues of comparable rarity such as the 1901-O, 1902-S, 1904-O, and 1896-S. In MS65 condition PCGS has certified exactly four coins, with two finer. Interestingly, NGC has certified no MS65 examples, although it has graded two finer (3/09).This silvery, lustrous piece offers a light wash of grayish-gold over the surfaces, with good eye appeal. There are few singular abrasions, but the strike identifies it as a product of the New Orleans Mint, with weakness on the right shield corner, right wing and claw, and the fletchings. The hair below the headband is well articulated, however.
