Barber Half Dollars
1904-S 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1904-S Barber half dollar is a rarity in Mint State, and only a handful of coins are known finer than the present near-Gem. This is only the fourth time we have handled an MS64 example of this challenging issue, with a recent PCGS CAC coin realizing $21,150 (Heritage, 2/2017). This example could very well surpass that coin in terms of visual merit, showing softly frosted surfaces that emit beautiful olive-gold, lavender, silvery-blue, and peach-orange hues. The reverse coloration is especially pleasing. Strike weakness appears on the eagle's right (facing) talons the right shield corner, as usual. CAC-approved and housed in an old green label holder. Population: 13 in 64 (1 in 64+), 9 finer. CAC: 6 in 64, 5 finer (7/17).
