Lot Description

1911-D Barber Half Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. Light golden-russet peripheral highlights enliven otherwise pearl gray surfaces. Mint luster blankets both sides, and the surfaces are as nice as would be expected for the Gem Mint State grade. Despite a mintage of 695,080 pieces, the 1911-D is one of the more available mintmarked issues among Barber half dollars, indicating an above average rate of survival. Even so, high grade examples such as this are scarce from a condition standpoint. Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of January 1988, lot 1112. Lot tag included. PCGS Population: 25; 15 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 6522. NGC ID: 24NE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
