Description
1903-O Half Dollar, MS66
A Notable Condition Rarity
1903-O 50C MS66 NGC. Barber half dollars from the New
Orleans Mint are generally very scarce in Mint State grades, but
the 1903-O is actually quite plentiful in grades up to and
including MS64. At the MS65 level, however, the 1903-O becomes a
notable condition rarity. NGC and PCGS have graded only seven
examples in MS66. There is just one finer specimen, the Duckor
coin, which was graded MS67 by PCGS and sold for $46,000 in August
2010.A few impressive high-grade Barber half sets have been built in the past decade, and the present coin would make an excellent addition should someone try a similar feat. As expected from a New Orleans product, the mint luster is bright and satiny. Pale, even golden color deepens slightly around the rim on the obverse, while the reverse is mostly brilliant with a couple of dabs of golden around the margin. Overall the strike is sharp, but just shy of complete.
