Among the most elusive issues in the Barber half series, the 1896-S is scarce even in heavily circulated condition. A momentous condition rarity at this level, this eye-catching gem is bested by only a handful of finer pieces across all major services. Satiny mint luster envelops both sides accenting the razor-sharp strike. Brilliantly untoned save for the slightest pale amber tints scattered at the borders that lend to the originality and over all strong eye appeal of this registry worthy piece. Previously housed in a PCGS/CAC MS66+ holder. - Barber Half Dollar
