Description du lot

This richly original example exhibits dominant olive-apricot patina that yields to dazzling target-like undertones of iridescent red, gold, blue and pink as the surfaces dip into direct lighting. Boldly to sharply struck in most areas, both sides are fully lustrous and uncommonly smooth for a circulation strike Barber half dollar irrespective of date or issuing mint.<p>As with most mintmarked issues in this conditionally challenged series, the 1907-S was produced in limited numbers (1,250,000 coins) and saw extensive commercial use. The typical survivor is well worn in grades such as Good or VG, and even problem free EFs and AUs are elusive. Mint State examples are scarce and generally represent coins set aside by contemporary numismatists. Among the finer certified in today's market, this beautiful upper end Gem would make an impressive addition to an advanced cabinet.
