1904-S Half Dollar, MS64
Rare So Well-Preserved

1904-S 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Collectors are unlikely to find a finer near-Gem example of this conditionally rare Barber half dollar. Luster is distinctly satiny, cast in blended gold, olive, and lavender-rose toning, and illuminating boldly rendered design elements. A loupe reveals the only grade-limiting imperfections -- a few light handling marks -- on Liberty's cheek, where the viewer also observes a few faint horizontal roller marks not fully struck out of the planchet.

The 1904-S is rare in Mint State, likely rarer than the certified population reports suggest, especially in MS64. In the past two decades, we have seen more Gem and finer coins that those graded MS64, despite population figures of the opposite persuasion. Registry Set collectors especially will want to take advantage of this rare offering. Population: 15 in 64 (1 in 64+), 9 finer. CAC: 7 in 64, 5 finer (10/17).(Registry values: N4719)
