- 1899-O Barber Half Dollar. MS-64 (NGC).
This bright and brilliant example combines a satin to softly frosted obverse with a modestly semi-prooflike reverse. A touch of softness to the eagle's head, left wing and talon is not at all atypical for a New Orleans Mint half dollar of this design type; the strike is otherwise sharply executed. Smooth overall with superior eye appeal. One in a long line of workhorse issues among New Orleans Mint Barber half dollars, the 1899-O has a modest mintage (1,724,000), yet saw extensive commercial use. With the typical survivor heavily worn in grades such as Good and VG, attractive and problem free EF-AU coins are highly elusive. Perhaps surprisingly, low end Mint State coins are obtainable, but in the finer Uncirculated grades it is challenging to find. With Gems seldom offered, this lovely MS-64 -- scarce in its own right -- represents excellent value.
Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
NGC Census: 12; 11 finer (MS-66 finest).
PCGS# 6484. NGC ID: 24M7.
