1899 Barber Half Dollar. MS-67 (NGC).Phenomenal quality for both the type and issue, this gorgeous Superb Gem would serve as a highlight in the finest numismatic cabinet. Both sides are beautifully toned, the obverse in light pinkish-silver and the reverse with an overlay of warmer golden-olive and reddish-orange. The luster is full and the strike is virtually complete. Expectably smooth for the assigned grade, as well, and worthy of the strongest bids.pAt 5,538,000 coins produced, the 1899 boasts one of the highest mintages in the circulation strike Barber half dollar series of 1892 to 1915. Perhaps not surprisingly, this is a common and popular type issue in most grades. Commercial use was heavy, however, as it was for all Barber half dollar issues, the typical 1899 half dollar in numismatic circles well worn and confined to the Good to Fine grade range. Mint State survivors are scarce in an absolute sense, with most owing their existence to contemporary dealers who set aside a small number of original rolls (which have long since dispersed into the market). Single finest certified at NGC, and tied for CC#2 when we consider both PCGS and NGC totals, this virtually pristine condition rarity makes a strong impression in all regards.
