详细说明

1905 Barber Half Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. A splendid, premium quality example of one of the more eagerly sought circulation strike Barber half dollars from the Philadelphia Mint. Dusted with iridescent golden toning, both sides display full, softly frosted luster. A razor sharp strike and generally smooth, nearly Gem quality appearance add to the appeal. Popular with collectors in all grades due to a mintage of just 662,000 coins. As a 20th century issue from the Philadelphia Mint, the 1905 was saved to an above average extent by Barber half dollar standards, with the result that Mint State coins are only moderately scarce. On the other hand, the popularity of this issue means that high quality examples can be challenging to locate, most of which are tightly held in collections. This upper end MS-64 returns to the market after years spent in the Larry H. Miller cabinet, and its offering in this sale represents an important bidding opportunity for advanced numismatists. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS# 6501. NGC ID: 24MR. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
