The 1905-O Barber half hails from a low mintage of just 505,000 pieces, even so it is surprisingly attainable in Mint State though gem and finer pieces are elusive. An important offering and a rarity at this lofty level, only three are reported finer between all major services combined! The strike is atypically sharp for an O-mint half, with bold definition to both sides. Thick, radiant mint luster cartwheels beautifully in hand from beneath a patina of iridescent peachy gold and pale blue-grey hues. Visually stunning and technically superior; a piece worthy of the advanced specialist! - Barber Half Dollar
