Description
1901-O Barber Half, MS66
Third-Rarest Series Issue in Mint State
1901-O 50C MS66 NGC. The 1901-O Barber half is a prime
rarity in the series, the greater notoriety of certain other issues
notwithstanding. A wonderful Premium Gem example, this piece
exhibits satiny surfaces with bright, semireflective fields that
are essentially free of any post-Mint contact, save for a single
mark below the W of WE, and largely silver-white with light accents
of pink and gray at the rims on each side. Portions of each side
are boldly struck and portions are weakly struck, not an atypical
occurrence for an O-mint Barber half. Light roller marks on the
cheek did not strike out fully, but the prime area of softness is,
as usual, the eagle's right wing and shield corner, here also
extending up onto the neck and head. On the other hand, many of the
peripheral stars on the obverse are sharp, and the reverse is
pleasingly bold elsewhere. An elite coin that deserves a place in
an elite collection. Census: 2 in 66, 0 finer (11/13).From the collection of Donald E. Bently, sold for the benefit of the Bently Foundation.(Registry values: N7079)
