The first year of the Barber series is not rare in an absolute sense, but it is somewhat scarce in GEM. However, demand for a first year of issue has always kept this date very popular. The present GEM is ever so close to an even higher grade, perhaps the minor reeding mark on Liberty's neck is all that keeps it from a 66. The surfaces have a rich, brilliant mint luster that ranges from satiny with a bold frost to areas of the reverse that are somewhat reflective with a near PL sheen. Both sides are untoned with a shimmering pearly-silver that is just wonderfully original and highly eye appealing. PCGS 118, NGC 81, CAC 34. There are only FOUR coins graded MS65+ at PCGS. The most recent PCGS MS65 CAC sold for $1,800 in June 2018 and a PCGS MS66 CAC sold for $3,080 in our July 2018 Premier Session. In 65+ the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,450. Worthy of a home in any GEM Set and a great way to start a new collection! Cert. Number 16471269 PCGS # 6461
