Lot Description

A visual treat, both sides of this awe-inspiring Superb Gem are fully untoned with a bright silver-white appearance. It also displays full, softly frosted luster with modest semi-reflective tendencies in the fields. Sharply struck overall with none of the troublesome softness usually associated with circulation strike half dollars of this type.<p>The 1911-D is the first Denver Mint half dollar issue since the 1908-D, and just 695,080 pieces were produced. Enough were saved by contemporary numismatists, however, that this issue is readily obtainable in grades through MS-64. The present offering is for a conditionally rare Superb Gem, however, a coin that is sure to see spirited bidding.
