1907-O Half Dollar, MS67
Among the Finest Certified

1907-O 50C MS67 PCGS. During the period from 1906 to 1909, coinage production gradually shifted from the New Orleans Mint to the new Denver Mint facility. Mintage figures of O-mint half dollars did not directly suffer, but the strike quality did, as die life was likely extended in an attempt to lower production costs. Finding sharply struck (and by extension, high-grade) half dollars from this period is a challenge for Barber half specialists. The 1907-O is no exception.

In fact, only a handful coins buck the trend, and somehow were preserved with Superb Gem quality. The present coin is one of six pieces that reside at the top of the population reports. Vibrant, frosty mint luster shines through pale hues of green-gold, lavender, and ice-blue on each side of this MS67 example, showing overall excellent surface preservation. The design elements are exceptionally sharp for an O-mint half dollar from this period and only add to the visual appeal. NGC and PCGS report three in MS67, respectively, with none finer at either service. PCGS Population: 3 in 67, 0 finer (3/20).(Registry values: N4719)
