The 1894-S Half Dollar is certainly one of the more intriguing dates in the series. It ranks right up with the best of the dates as a condition-rarity. In terms of the number of Gem examples available, the 1894-S compares favorably with other dates such as 1896-O, 1898-O, 1900-O, 1902-O (is there a pattern developing here?) plus surprising dates such as 1903, 1906, and 1914. The best example is a single PCGS MS67 followed by a small handful of PCGS MS66's. The usual Who's Who of collectors have their names attached to the best examples: Duckor, Price, Shireman, Eliasberg, and Friend. All of the top examples are toned in varying degrees and have superb eye appeal.

Despite its considerably higher mintage, the 1894-S is much more rare in Gem condition than the 1894-O, and is actually one of the rarest dates (in Gem) in the entire Barber Half Dollar series. I consider it to be one of the series' most underrated issues since it has never been widely publicized or even recognized as a rarity yet it bears favorable comparison to almost any other issue in the series. The number of Gems in existence is certainly very small...稀有性和存量估计 了解更多
