1903-O
.
NGC graded MS-65
. A beautifully toned Gem,
both sides have rich sunset-gold at the center that gradu-
ally changes to russet, blue, and sea-green near the bor-
ders. Faint hairlines are noted in the obverse fields and a
couple of minor marks appear on both sides. Exceptional
quality for this New Orleans issue.
Pop 9; 4 finer in 66.
Estimated Value ........................................ $6,000 - 6,500

1907-D
.
PCGS graded MS-65
. Far finer than the typically
offered 1907-D Barber half, this frosty Gem is sharply struck
and free of detracting abrasions. Also attractively toned, we
note iridescent reddish-russet and powder-blue iridescence
intermixed on each side. Well defined and essentially mark-free.
Pop 24; 16 finer

1909
.
PCGS graded MS-66.
CAC APPROVED.
This well pre-
served and carefully struck example features deep russet-brown
and purple toning toward the margins, while the centers remain
largely brilliant. The 1909 Philadelphia issue is the most avail-
able Barber half dollar for that year with a mintage of nearly 2.4
million coins. Few were saved over the years as nice as this
one; examples are scarce in Gem condition and rare in this lofty
grade.
Pop 11; 3 finer in 66+

1911
.
PCGS graded Proof 65 PQ.
CAC APPROVED.
Deep
iridescent toning favors red and gold but multicolored accents
including blue-green are in the mix over each side. This is rare
to find with such lovely rainbow hues. Pleasant satin luster
envelops all devices under its frosted radiance, with the exqui-
site toning and sleek mirrors radiate throughout. Given the
proper amount of strike pressure, the coin was fully brought up
by the special proof dies. One of a minuscule mintage of just
543 pieces.
Pop 33; 26 finer

Estimated Value ..............................................$2,300 - 2,400

1911
.
PCGS graded Proof 63
. This coin possesses attractive
proof surfaces that are enhanced by colorful golden toning with
hints of cobalt-blue at the rims. Only 543 proofs were struck.
