Description
1904 Half Dollar, MS66
Exceptional Rich Patina
1904 50C MS66 PCGS. CAC. The aquamarine obverse center is
framed with peripheral peach-red. The reverse is principally
orange-gold and ruby-red but the margin is apple-green. Lustrous
and precisely struck with exceptional preservation.Population Data (5/14): PCGS reports six MS66 and one MS67+. NGC shows three MS66 and none finer. CAC reports five MS66 and one MS67.
Heritage Commentary: The 1904 is among the more available Barber half issues. However, it is approximately 30 times rarer in Mint State than the 1904 Morgan dollar, which confirms the challenges faced by Barber collectors seeking high-grade coins. Most Uncirculated 1904 halves grade between MS61 and MS64. Smooth and lustrous pieces with a bold strike and dramatic original patina, such as this Gardner Collection example, are great rarities.
