Lot Description

1911-S Barber Half Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Blushes of pale champagne-apricot iridescence are all that keep this lustrous and frosty example from full brilliance. Conservatively graded at the MS-64 level, in our opinion, the surfaces are silky smooth and not far from a full Gem Mint State rating. One of numerous underrated Barber half dollars in Mint State, the 1911-S has a mintage of 1,272,000 pieces and is seldom offered finer than the lowest reaches of Choice Uncirculated. The premium quality Larry H. Miller specimen is sure to sell for a strong bid to a Barber half dollar enthusiast. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS# 6523. NGC ID: 24NF.
