March 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Outstanding 1897-O Half Dollar 1897-O Barber Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. This truly remarkable example is exceptionally well produced and preserved for an early date New Orleans Mint Barber half dollar. The strike is uniformly sharp from the rims to the centers with none of the often-seen bluntness to the obverse stars or the eagle's left wing and talon on the reverse. Satin luster flows over surfaces that are very close to Superb Gem quality. Iridescent golden-apricot peripheral toning rings both sides and adds to its significant appeal. The 1897-O is a lower mintage Barber half dollar with 632,000 pieces produced, and survivors are scarce to rare in all Mint State grades. This is a premium quality example that would do justice to the finest set. Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) William Van Roden Collection sale, May 1968, lot 1527. Lot tag included. PCGS Population: 5; 4 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 6478. NGC ID: 24LZ.
