- 1894-S Barber Half Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS). This prooflike beauty reveals glassy reflectivity in the fields, while the design elements are frosty with razor sharp to full striking detail. The entire package is dressed in warm iridescent toning in silver-gray, reddish-russet and, to a lesser extent, powder blue. After producing only 740,000 coins in 1893, half dollar production at the San Francisco Mint soared to more than 4 million pieces in 1894. With one of the highest mintages in the series, 1894-S numbers among the most frequently encountered Barber half dollars from the 1890s. Most survivors are circulated, of course, in which grades Q. David Bowers (2019) provides an estimate of 8,000 to 10,000 coins extant. The generous mintage also helped make the 1894-S one of the more readily obtainable San Francisco Mint half dollars of its era in Mint State. The present example is well suited for an advanced Barber collection or a high grade mintmarked type set. PCGS Population: 46; 14 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 6470. NGC ID: 24LR.
