A limited mintage of 933,900 coins leaves premium gem examples scarce. This superb example is bested by only one NGC MS68 example! An extremely sharply struck example bursting with bright luster beneath mottled blue-green, gold, and slate-grey toning. Just light strike weakness is seen on the reverse top right shield. Surfaces are smooth, well-preserved, and free from chatter and abrasions. This piece is a triumph to behold! A very tough date that is often missing from most Barber Half collections. This is a perfect example for the advanced registry collector who is building the finest of sets. - Barber Half Dollar
