<B>1897-O 50C MS65 NGC.</B></I> Despite the low mintage of 632,000 coins, Mint State examples of the 1897-O may be had up through Gem and Premium Gem levels for a price. David and John Feigenbaum posit that this is because early dealers such as B. Max Mehl saved nice pieces of the issue near the time of their production--four years after Augustus Heaton's classic <I>Mint Marks </B></I>reference altered the collecting landscape forever.<BR> This alluring Gem offers silvery, lustrous surfaces lightly tinged with gold patina. Both sides are remarkably pristine and distraction-free, but some localized strike softness shows on the reverse in the usual areas. Census: 7 in 65, 5 finer (1/08).<BR><I>From The Southwest Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Charles E.
