1902-S Barber Half, MS67
Tied With Two Others as Finest Known

1902-S 50C MS67 NGC. The exceptional piece is among the three finest 1902-S half dollars. The other two examples are the Pryor coin, a PCGS MS67 that brought $20,700 in January 2009, and the Duckor/Price piece that brought an astounding $32,200 in this summer's ANA. This nearly flawless representative displays incredible radiance and is sharply struck throughout. Light, even obverse toning confirm the piece's originality. A few roller marks are seen across the portrait, identical to those sometimes seen on S-mint Morgan dollars from this same era, and similar to the Duckor/Price coin. These Mint-caused striations do not affect the technical merits (or visual appeal) of this extraordinary coin. Census: 1 in 67, 0 finer (10/10).
Ex: 2005 FUN Sale (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 4231, where it brought $13,800.
