A low mintage for the series of 847,044 coins makes this a collectible date that is rare at the gem level. The present example comes from a population of three with just three finer, a true condition census survivor. Dominant grey toning throughout features mottled highlights of orange and teal coloration. A very sharp strike, uncommon for S-Mint issues, is noted with abundant luster accenting the surfaces. Strong eye appeal with no overly distracting or unusual marks for the grade. This would make a great upgrade for the registry set expert! - Barber Half Dollar
