The 1895-O Half Dollar is a great, semi-scarce date with one of the smallest clusters of certified Mint State examples than most dates in the 1890s. David Akers (see below) likened this date to the 1892-O and 1894-O Half Dollars, but the 1895-O is actually harder to locate in MS65 (and better) grades. And, unlike those other two dates, the 1895-O is unknown in MS67. In general, the 1895-O Half Dollar is nicely struck for a New Orleans mint product, but keep an eye on the eagle's upper right wing (viewer's right), where softness is occasionally seen.
