1901-S 50C MS65 NGC
<B>1901-S 50C MS65 NGC.</B></I> <I>The Complete Guide to Certified Barber Coinage </B></I>ranks this tricky issue third in Mint State rarity, surpassed only by the 1904-S and 1896-O emissions. As of (1/08) NGC has certified only two Gems of this date, with one piece finer. PCGS has certified five pieces in MS65, with five finer.<BR> This example offers silver surfaces lightly tinged with gold throughout, and even under a loupe there are no singularly distracting abrasions. For an S-mint coin, however, the strike is curiously soft on the right shield corner and the nearby areas. There are some interesting die cracks noted on both sides, the sign of die fatigue. Census: 2 in 65, 1 finer (1/08).<BR><I>From The Southwest Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Charles E.
