Challenging 1901-O Gem Half Dollar

1901-O 50C MS65 NGC. The 1901-O is a very challenging issue that combines striking rarity and rarity in mint condition. It is, in fact, a scarce item above the VG level. Only nine coins have been certified in Gem condition between the two major certification services (three PCGS and six NGC) with a mere five finer (3/09). This particular piece is much sharper on the obverse than the reverse with the only notable weakness on the front side seen on Liberty's lips. The reverse, however, shows significant softness on the eagle. Brilliant throughout, the surfaces display bright, attractive satiny mint luster. The only mentionable abrasions are a couple of unobtrusive marks on the lower portion of Liberty's neck. A rare opportunity for the specialist.
