Fantastic Gem 1903 Half

1903 50C MS65 PCGS. When considering low survival ratios, few Barber half dollar issues can match the difficulty of the 1903 in Gem condition. Over 2.2 million pieces were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. However, even in the unlikely event of no resubmissions, MS65 or better examples at the major services are few and far between--a mystery regarding the scarcity of Mint State examples compared to the number minted. This boldly defined Gem is satiny with gold-tinged silver surfaces and excellent detail. Immensely lustrous and undeniably appealing. Population: 3 in 65, 5 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24MJ, PCGS# 6495, Greysheet# 6564)

Weight: 12.50 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
