1903-O 50C MS64 PCGS
<B>1903-O 50C MS64 PCGS.</B></I> This coin appears remarkably high-end for the assigned grade, as it reveals few singular abrasions even under a loupe. Liberty appears as though she has the "mumps," a characteristic of this O-mint issue and some other New Orleans pieces. More importantly, this coin is <I>marvelously well detailed </B></I>for an O-mint Barber half. The slight softness noted at the right shield corner and nearby eagle's wing is completely trivial and undistracting compared to most O-mint half dollars. That alone, in this cataloger's opinion, should put this coin in line for an upgrade. A trivial water stain, as made, near star 7, however, may account for the difference. Nonetheless an extremely attractive and memorably sharp piece. Population: 34 in 64, 11 finer (1/08).<BR><I>From The Southwest Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Charles E.
