The 1894-O Half Dollar is slightly more common in Mint State than is the 1894, which is really not surprising since the mintage of the 1894-O is almost twice that of the 1894. Most of the currently-certified examples post up as MS64. Gem examples are scarce, but this is one of the few dates in the series which is represented by a PCGS MS68 example (but only one!). The strike quality on this date is definitely better than on the 1893-O, though occasionally an example shows up with a weak talon on the viewer's right side of the reverse.
