Glorious mint luster booms from all over on this essentially GEM quality 1899 half housed in an old green tag holder. Essentially untoned save for the slightest blue and gold tone near the extreme peripheral devices. We note a few traces of contact, but have seen coins in higher grade holders with more chatter for sure. PCGS 59, NGC 42, CAC 12. This coin has an auction record from way back in 2003 for $1,898, but more recently an example sold in December 2020 for $1,320 (did not look as nice as this one!). We suspect the price guide values will pale in comparison to the APR this coin achieves! Good luck. Cert. Number 4703818 PCGS # 6483.00
