High prices have brought out many of the late P mint date coins in low grades, but in MS grades, they are pretty tough. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely stunning! The Barber Coin Collectors' Society calls this an R4 in this date and grade. That's rare!

It appears to be a beautiful specimen - MS62 actually seems a bit conservative. But I'm also wondering why the certification number is "not available for display" on the PCGS website - and why the date and denomination info on the label look to be blacked out as well.

How come it doesn't show up in PCGS cert verification for me?


Good point. I thought maybe PCGS was broken, but it takes in some of my labels just fine. The coin looks good, but the lack of cert identification as well as date/denom info makes me very suspicious. Might want to contact the seller and call PCGS.

How did you find it exactly? Did you send it in for grading?

As to why PCGS does not show the coin cert, I have no idea. I just got this back on 7/24 from PCGS in a new holder (but same PCGS number as before) See this link for more info.

Thanks for looking.

The "share" feature may need to be activated on the PCGS website.

Nice looking half btw.

Word on here is that Barbers just were not hoarded in mint state like other coins. That is why they are hard to find. I agree that 1913-1915 are scarcer than people think and they are under-valued. I have a 1913 in a low grade and I hang on to it for that reason. Fortunately I got it in a lot of 12 at $11 something a piece.
