Lot Description

1908-D Barber Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. This vividly toned beauty really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Both sides exhibit dominant olive-copper and smoky-gray patina through which the loveliest sea green, cobalt blue, salmon pink and champagne-apricot undertones shine as the coin dips into a light. Highly lustrous with a razor sharp strike, this is an uncommonly well preserved and attractive example that will appeal to discerning collectors. With a relatively generous mintage of 3,280,000 pieces and an above average rate of survival, the 1908-D is one of the more readily obtainable Barber half dollars in Mint State. There are even a few remarkable premium Gems and Superb Gems known, as here, although we caution bidders that such coins are rare when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics. PCGS Population: 10; 11 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 6513. NGC ID: 24N5. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
