FROM THE FORMULA 1 COLLECTION. Ex Price Collection. From David Aker's sale of the Thaine Price Collection, where it was described as: "A superb specimen of incredible quality and beauty. A little weak on the right side of the eagle by the shield, but otherwise very sharply struck for a 1902-O Barber Half Dollar. This coin is completely original and has tremendous luster and magnificent toning. The obverse has beautiful sunset shades, light reddish-gold in the center and deeper reddish-gold and greenish-gold near the rims. The surfaces are nearly pristine, they are entirely free of marks of even the most microscopic nature, and there are only a couple of very faint and tiny hairlines that are completely obscured by the superb medium toning. In terms of both technical quality and overall eye appeal, this 1902-O is in a class by itself. It is far superior to the James Prior and Louis Eliasberg specimens, not to mention the Norweb coin that sold a decade ago and all others that have appeared at auction in between..." Today, it is tied for FINEST KNOWN at PCGS, tied with the Duckor/Akers and the Shireman coins. It is a world class beauty worthy of the FINEST set of Mint State Barber halves. PCGS 3, NGC 5, CAC 2. The other CAC coin is the Duckor/Akers coin that brought $19,950 back in the 2010 ANA auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $15,000 and will likely exceed that level when the gavel finally falls. Good luck! Cert. Number 36661279 PCGS # 6493
