1904 Half Dollar, MS66
Conditionally Rare

1904 50C MS66 NGC. In determining the rarity of just about any issue in the Barber half series in Gem grades, mintage figures can be disregarded. This was a commercial workhorse series, heavily circulated and little collected; even common dates become rare in the upper Mint State levels. The 1904 is a prime example. This Philadelphia issue had a mintage of nearly 3 million coins, but it is genuinely rare at the MS65 grade level and anything finer is exceedingly so. In MS66, the currently offered coin is tied with just two others for the finest at NGC (3/17). This piece is boldly struck, draped in milky golden and lilac patina. The underlying surfaces display a hard, satiny brilliance with a few inconsequential marks on Liberty's cheek and neck.
