Challenging Gem 1901-O Barber Half

1901-O 50C MS65 PCGS. This prized condition rarity among New Orleans Mint Barber halves is untoned and displays billowy mint luster that is only interrupted by a few shallow, inoffensive luster grazes on the portrait. The obverse is well struck except for softness on Liberty's mouth, a curious deficiency that we have noticed on other Uncirculated 1901-O half dollars. Typical O-mint flatness is also found on the interior portions of the eagle. While other Barber half dollars boast lower mintages, the 1901-O has proven to be one of the most challenging issues in the series in better Mint State grades. Population: 3 in 65, 3 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N7079)
