- Handsome Near-Gem 1904-S Half Dollar
1904-S Barber Half Dollar. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.
Here is a significant and highly desirable survivor of this challenging San Francisco Mint half dollar issue. The lovely original surfaces are lightly toned in silver-apricot while the peripheries are enhanced by reddish-rose and powder blue highlights. The strike is sharp to full and the luster has a soft satin texture. The 1904-S is a curious issue among key date Barber half dollars. With a mintage of just 553,038 pieces, it is certainly scarce to rare in all grades. On the other hand, worn survivors are not as elusive as those of higher mintage mintmarked issues in this series such as the 1896-S, 1897-O and 1897-S. In Mint State, however, the 1904-S is far rarer. The present near-Gem numbers among the finest that we have ever had the privilege of bringing to auction.
Provenance: From our sale of the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection, March 2018 Baltimore Auction, lot 10224. Our consignor to that sale had acquired the coin from Joe Flynn, Sr. Coin Co., May 1967.
PCGS# 6500. NGC ID: 24MP.
