*Highlight* 1904-s Barber 50c Graded Select+ Unc
***Auction Highlight*** 1904-s Barber Half Dollars 50c Graded Select+ Unc By USCG. HIGHLIGHT OF THE AUCTION - Up for Auction is the KEY to the Barber Half Dollar Series, the 1904-s. The 1904-S is the undisputed series rarity in Mint State grades, second only to the near-uncollectible 1892-O Micro O, a variety that many collectors exclude from their sets anyway. Ranking the 1904-S an R.6 in Mint State (population of 15-39 coins), David and John Feigenbaum say in The Complete Guide to Certified Barber Coinage, "1904-S is not only the scarcest regular issue in the half dollar set, but it also has a far lower population than the 1901-S quarter and 1895-O dime. Its rarity is usually not appreciated until you try to assemble a set and you can't find one, even after years of looking. Trying to purchase one at auction is an eye-opening experience."This Select example has swirling luster and delightful original amber-gold on the obverse and ice-blue on the reverse that complements the silver surfaces elsewhere. While a couple of slide marks and ticks on Liberty's cheek preclude a finer grade, the strike is bold, just short of full, and the eye appeal is over the top. Expect the bidding to be fierce, and act accordingly.
