Lovely Gem 1907-S Half

1907-S 50C MS65 NGC. By 1907, public enthusiasm had waned for the Barber half, if such a phenomenon were possible. On the release of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle, at least one individual commented to the effect that since the double eagle denomination now had an attractive design, the silver coins should come next! It comes as little surprise that the Barber half was little saved that year, and Gem examples of the 1907-S, an issue of just 1.25 million pieces, are condition rarities. This strongly lustrous piece is well struck for the issue with hints of gold and rose patina at the margins of the otherwise silver-white surfaces. Census: 6 in 65, 3 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)
