- 1904-O Barber Half Dollar. MS-64 (NGC). CAC.
An essentially brilliant, highly attractive New Orleans Mint half dollar that also displays lively mint luster. Striking detail is razor sharp over virtually all design elements, and the surfaces are smooth enough to suggest Gem Mint State quality. The New Orleans Mint produced 1,117,600 half dollars in 1904, the vast majority of which entered circulation unceremoniously where they saw use for decades. Thanks to the mintage, the 1904-O is readily obtainable in the lowest circulated grades. This issue increases markedly in scarcity as one approaches the middle circulated grade levels, however, and it is rare in EF and AU. The 1904-O is elusive in Mint State, even in lower grades such as MS-62 and MS-63. With Gems seldom offered, this scarce upper end MS-64 represents a significant bidding opportunity for the astute Barber half dollar enthusiast.
Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
NGC Census: 11; 6 finer (MS-66+ finest).
PCGS# 6499. NGC ID: 24MN.
