The 1892-O Half Dollar is a popular coin because of its low mintage but, in reality, it is no more difficult to obtain than many other, more plentiful dates. In fact, the 1892-O Half Dollar has the second largest population of certified examples of any date up to 1912. David Akers noted that the 1892-O Half Dollar was rare in Gem condition but, again, the population reports say otherwise. Apparently, the 1892-O was saved in large quantities, as was the 1892-P, which means that collectors have ample opportunities to purchase a nice example. Like most Barber Half Dollars, the 1892-O is extremely rare in MS67, but this is one of the few dates in the series that is represented by a PCGS MS68 example (but only one!).
