Description
1905-O Half Dollar, MS67
A Condition Census Example
1905-O 50C MS67 NGC. Lime-green and ice-blue borders merge
with beautiful violet-gray centers on each side, while the reverse
adds accents of peach-orange and russet toning. The strike is
typical for the Southern branch mint, showing softness at the
juncture of the right shield corner and wing, the leg feathers, and
claws. Radiant luster and pristine surfaces heighten the appeal of
this important Superb Gem offering.Population Data (9/15): Two grading events in MS67 and one in MS68 are the finest at NGC. PCGS also reports two in MS67 and two in MS68 finer.
Heritage Commentary: This New Orleans issue claims the second-lowest production total from the Louisiana facility after the 1892-O (505,000 versus 390,000 coins). Examples are extremely rare in this lofty grade, and this Superb Gem is in elite company where comparably graded pieces are concerned. In fact, only the Eliasberg and Duckor/Akers examples, and another MS68 NGC coin are reported finer. This Superb Gem ranks high in the Condition Census, likely tied for fourth place.
Provenance: Purchased from Bill Nagle (6/2002).(Registry values: N4719)
