Description

1902-S Half Dollar, MS66
Challenging S-Mint Issue

1902-S 50C MS66 PCGS. Even though 1.46 million pieces were struck for circulation, the 1902-S is one of the scarcer 20th century issues in the Barber series. Undoubtedly much of this scarcity is attributable to the West Coast's long-standing desire for hard currency rather than paper money, and the San Francisco mint was the annual supplier of silver coins for that section of the country. The frosted surfaces show a faint glimmer of reflectivity in the fields on each side, and the surfaces display subtle shadings of rose and lilac toning. A bit softly struck, as one would expect. Population: 9 in 66 (2 in 66+), 3 finer (11/23).
