The 1899-O Half Dollar shares a similar population profile with the 1898-O. The 1899-O appears most frequently in MS63 and MS64. In MS65 and MS66, the populations of the 1899-O Half Dollar are almost equal -- and both are very low. No 1899-O Half Dollars are known in MS67. Curiously, the 1899-O ranks in a tie with several other dates as fourth rarest overall in the series.
Fortunately, the 1899-O comes better struck than the 1898-O (which is notoriously weak).
