- 1892-S Barber Half Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS).
Billowy mint luster and razor sharp striking detail greet the viewer form both sides of this endearing near-Gem. Close to brilliance on the obverse, the reverse is dressed in delicate iridescent steely-pink toning. Although it has the highest mintage of the three 1892-dated issues in the Barber half dollar series, the 1892-S is the rarest in Mint State. Obviously less attention was paid to this West Coast half dollar by contemporary Americans than to the 1892 and 1892-O. The 1892-S still benefited from its first year status, however, and it has a slightly more generous Mint State population that most other San Francisco Mint half dollars from the 1890s. Yet even so, commercial use claimed the vast majority of the 1,029,028 coins struck for the 1892-S, David Lawrence (1991) estimates that "perhaps 95% of this date exist in G/AG." Among Uncirculated survivors few grade finer than Choice, which fact confirms the significance of this offering for collectors of high quality Barber coinage.
PCGS Population: 34; 22 finer (MS-67+ finest).
