1908-O Barber Half Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.

Breathtaking Superb Gem 1908-O Barber Half 1908-O Barber Half Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC. Among the most beautiful examples of the issue that your cataloger (JLA) has ever seen, this stunning Superb Gem is one of the finest 1908-O half dollars available to today's discerning bidders. The characteristic die swelling of the issue is hardly in evidence here, the devices instead displaying virtually complete definition that comes up short only on the reverse at the junction of the eagle's left wing and shield. The luster is full and richly frosted in texture, and the surfaces are so smooth as to make even the MS-67 grade seem conservative. Originally toned, as well, with gorgeous cobalt-blue rim highlights to lighter rose-gray and olive-gold centers. A coin that would do justice to the finest Barber half dollar set. For reasons that have been lost to history, the New Orleans Mint produced a staggering (for the type) total of 5.3 million half dollars in 1908. This is the second highest mintage of any coin in the Barber series, trailing only the 1899, and the 1908-O is obviously a plentiful issue by the standards of the type. This is even true of Mint State survivors, although examples that grade MS-65 or finer are rare from a condition standpoint, especially with the superior striking quality and outstanding surface preservation offered here.
