A challenging coin for the specialists, especially in high grades as New Orleans Mint products of this period are notorious for a weak strike. This high-end gem is a notable exception, with exceptionally sharp details throughout. Frosty luster gleams, somewhat muted, beneath a patina of blended olive, lilac, and pale blue tones. The preservation is impressive and the visual appeal quite strong! This coin was previously graded MS67 by PCGS. - Barber Half Dollar
