Description
Charming 1902 Barber Half, MS67
Another Unimprovable Specimen
1902 50C MS67 PCGS Secure. Ex: Duckor/Price. The obverse has
a short die crack through the bust tip, ending in the field before
reaching the date or star 13. Both sides of this Superb Gem have
bold design definition, with amazing surfaces and color.
Considerable bright silver on the obverse intermingles with
emerald-green and faint gold. The reverse has less bright silver
and more emerald-green. The underlying surfaces are essentially
mark free, with frosty luster.The 1902 Barber half dollar, with more than 4.9 million coined, has the third-highest mintage of any issue in the series behind 1899 and 1908-O. Such a high mintage failed to provide today's collectors with an adequate supply of Gem or finer examples. In our own sales since 1993, we have offered a single MS67 NGC coin, along with five MS66 examples. Over the years, PCGS has certified 526 Barber half dollars in MS66 or finer. From that total, 187 coins represent just 11 issues, leaving 339 coins for the other 63 issues. Only five of the 526 Premium Gem or finer Barber half dollars are examples of this 1902 issue.
In the Price catalog, David Akers wrote words that we are unable to improve: "This will be far from the highest priced Half Dollar in this set, but it certainly will be among the most difficult to duplicate once this coin is sold." Population (6/10): MS66 (4); MS66+ (0); MS67 (1).
