Lot Description

1900-S Barber Half Dollar. MS-63 (PCGS). Lustrous satin surfaces are dusted with light toning in pale silver-gray and iridescent champagne-gold. The strike is razor sharp throughout, both sides minimally abraded at the assigned grade level, if a bit muted in appearance. This turn-of-the-century half dollar issue from the San Francisco Mint has a mintage of 2,560,322 pieces. While this is a generous total by the standards of the Barber series, circulation took a heavy toll on the issue. Typically encountered only in the lowest grades such as Good and VG, the 1900-S is scarce in the MS-60 to MS-64 range and rare any finer. PCGS# 6488. NGC ID: 24MB.
