Description
Marvelous 1900-S Barber Half, MS67+
The Only PCGS Superb Gem
1900-S 50C MS67+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor/Price. A
prominent obverse die crack meanders from star 1 to the lower part
of the bust, eventually reaching star 13. Other faint cracks
include those on the cap. The reverse has several peripheral die
cracks. The mintmark is slightly right of center and close to the
tail feathers.This Superb Gem is boldly detailed, with exquisite surfaces and incredible eye appeal. Both sides are essentially brilliant, with subtle champagne toning. Full frosty mint luster is evident, with only a few minuscule surface marks. A few faint roller lines remain from the original planchet preparation before the coin was struck.
In the Price catalog, David Akers wrote about the rarity and condition of this coin, and his comments are equally applicable for the Duckor Collection: "There are so many great Barber Half Dollars in this collection, more Gem mint state pieces than have ever been offered from one collection in auction history, that it is difficult to single out any one or even a few individual coins that are more important or noteworthy than the others. However, even in the company of all the other magnificent Barber Half Dollars in the [Duckor] Collection, this 1900-S stands out as one of the most significant and desirable due to its rarity, quality, and superb eye appeal." Population (6/10): MS66 (3); MS66+ (0); MS67 (0); MS67+ (1).
