1898-O. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Mostly white and a light hint of gold tone. Of special interest to Barber coin collectors is this Condition Census example of the elusive 1898-O issue tied with three others in its PCGS grade and with only one finer coin appearing in the PCGS Population Report. Most collectors recognize the 1896-O and 1897-O issues as rarities. The next year is somewhat lost from view; events reveal all given suitable time and this issue is every bit as rare, more than ever in top quality. Mintage for these three years was comparable. This lovely Gem MS66 has splendid pure silvery color in all areas, surrounded by perfect, mark-free borders. The surfaces are incomparable with their intense frosty luster. Only the slightest of surface marks prevent a higher grade. Typical of most Barber Half Dollars from the New Orleans Mint, the design features exhibit slight weakness. Pop 4; 1 finer in 67 (PCGS # 6481) . Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000. Categories: Barber Half Dollars
