Superb Gem 1905 Barber Half Dollar

Just Two Finer

1905 Barber Half Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS).

A truly captivating Superb Gem that ranks among the finest know of this issue. Each side is snowy-white and fully brilliant, blanketed in uniform satiny luster. The surfaces remain virtually pristine and untroubled beneath a glass. Well struck and impressive to examine under a light source. The 1905 Barber half dollar is an elusive Philadelphia Mint issue, a date that saw a production run of just 662,000 circulation strikes. This represents the 11th lowest mintage figure of any date in the series, and just 3,000 are thought to survive in all grades. Only 50 of these remain in grades of 65 or higher, and Superb Gems are virtually non-collectible. At MS-67 (PCGS), the present example is a magnificent condition rarity and a freak of survival. Only 2 coins have been certified finer by PCGS, making it an ideal candidate for an advanced PCGS Registry Set.
