Description

Brilliant 1903-O Barber Half, MS66
Only One Example Finer

1903-O 50C MS66 NGC. A marvelous Premium Gem example of this elusive O-mint issue. Blindingly bright luster flashes from completely untoned, frosty silver-white surfaces. Few abrasions of any consequence are noted, even under a loupe, although a tiny planchet lamination appears on Liberty's cheek. The generally well executed strike has left a couple of the peripheral obverse stars lacking central detail. A few small die cracks and some faded die clash marks are noted on the reverse. These minutiae in no way diminish the appeal of one of the six highest graded examples at both services combined, save for a solitary specimen at PCGS. Census: 3 in 66, 0 finer (10/10).
From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection, Part Two.(Registry values: N7079)
