- Rare Fully Struck Gem 1907-O Half Dollar
1907-O Barber Half Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS).
This enchanting piece is beautifully toned throughout, the obverse with a target-like distribution to steel-blue and silver-rose iridescence. More even antique silver and olive-apricot iridescence adorns the reverse, although the latter color warms a bit toward the right border. Highly lustrous and smooth, a remarkably full strike for this challenging New Orleans Mint issue is also a praiseworthy attribute. David Lawrence (1991), in fact, considers the 1907-O to be the worst struck issue in the entire Barber half dollar series of 1892 to 1915, and he further states, "'Mumps specimens are fairly common and most exaggerated in this date." These curious features are raised areas on Liberty's neck, evident here, although this exceptional piece is free of the often-seen softness on the reverse at the eagle's neck and where its left wing meets the shield. An outstanding 1907-O half dollar, and a leading highlight of the offerings in the current installment of the Abigail Collection.
