Lot Description

A condition rarity at this grade level and especially so with such attractive white surfaces! The peripheries have a band of deeper gold and crimson in areas of toning, otherwise this satin sweet Barber Half is a white blazer! Examination finds little more than trace contact and the usual faint album slide marks on Miss Liberty’s cheek. The strike is fairly sharp too, but a touch of softness resides on the right (facing) wing of the eagle, typical of this challenging New Orleans issue. A handful of gem and finer coins exist, but they quickly double and more in price! PCGS 16, NGC 10, CAC 2. Clearly this is a tough date to get CAC approval! One reasonably comparable coin hit $5,581.00 (1/14) at auction and this one should find many suitors who appreciate it’s charming quality and elegant luster. L | This coin is being sold with no reserve. Certification Number 25281101 PCGS # 6499
