The Philadelphia Mint cranked out nearly 3 million coins in 1904 leaving the issue common in most grades. At the premium gem level, it becomes scarce. The present example is a population of one with only two pieces finer, placing it solidly in the condition census. Light slate-grey surfaces feature tints of olive-green, tangerine, and rose. Bolstered by phenomenal cartwheel luster, the surfaces are crisply defined and effortlessly smooth. A small tick on the bridge of Liberty's nose is the only mark worthy of mention. Overall, a very pleasing piece! A true registry-quality offering, this outstanding piece is sure to catch the attention of adamant Barber Half collectors. - Barber Half Dollar
