A well-struck example of this better date, offering bright mint luster and attractive silver surfaces accented by subtle golden and turquoise toning near the peripheries. Liberty’s portrait shows strong detail for the issue, with clear definition in the wreath and headband, while the reverse eagle is boldly rendered with crisp feather detail. The fields display moderate contact marks consistent with the grade, but the overall eye appeal remains outstanding. A solid New Orleans Mint Barber Half.
