[The following excerpt is published courtesy of DLRC Press and its author, David Lawrence This information was originally published in 1991 in The Complete Guide to Barber Halves

* * *

Mintage: 740,000 (Ranking 13/73)

Varieties: None known.

Scarcity: Extremely scarce F and higher. Like the 1893-O, no gems had been graded as of June 1991.

Rarity Rating: G-VG R3, R5 above VG10

Total PCGS/NGC = 25 (Ranking tied for 11/73)

Comments: Like other early dates, the vast majority probably exist as G/AG. In F and VF reverses usually have about one grade more detail than obverses. Comes well struck with nice luster.
