Description
Surprisingly Scarce 1908-O Barber Half, MS65
1908-O 50C MS65 PCGS. The 1908-O boasts the second highest mintage of the series, at 5.36 million pieces. The high mintage leads collectors to believe that the issue is easily located, but coins at the Gem level are surprisingly difficult. David Akers has said, "In terms of ready availability, a 1908-O Barber half of this quality should be considered rare."The present coin exhibits remarkable aesthetic appeal. Both sides have frosty luster with pale champagne toning. Slight weakness is evident, as usual, just right of the shield. Population: 30 in 65, 28 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
