Auction 360 | Lot 4263 » Half Dollars » Barber Half Dollars
1912-S 50C MS67 NGC. This coin and the Eliasberg piece were most likely struck from the same set of dies as both show bright reflectivity in the fields, and most notably raised die finish lines are seen through the bases of D(OLL)AR. These lines are less prominent on this particular coin, but then the fields are not as obviously reflective as the Eliasberg piece either, indicating a later striking from the same die pairing. Evidence of the die polishing that was done to this coin in the mint is especially noticeable on the mintmark, which is peculiarly formed as it was partially effaced at the top and bottom. From a technical and aesthetic viewpoint, this piece is superior to the Eliasberg coin as that piece "only" graded MS66 at PCGS. The brilliant surfaces of this coin give the viewer an unrestricted view of the flashy, semi-prooflike fields and equally bright (and satiny) devices. Fully struck on the obverse, there is only the slightest softness evident on the reverse in the usual places: the eagle's right (facing) claw and the eagle's right (facing) wing close to the shield. This piece presents the astute buyer with the opportunity to acquire the finest known 1912-S half, a coin that will be of enduring interest to both the collector of finest known type as well as date and mintmark collectors like John Hugon who demand only the finest from this very challenging series.

1912-S 50C MS66 PCGS. An impeccably smooth representative bathed in milky golden-gray patina. The strike is temptingly close to full and shimmering luster is hardly diminished by the delicate coloration. Although not particularly scarce in Mint State when compared to other Barber half dollar issues, the 1912-S is seldom available in Gem and better grades. Population: 6 in 66, 0 finer (3/06).

1912-S 50C MS 66 PCGS. Ex: Cassano/Eliasberg. A simply breathtaking specimen, the prooflike qualities of both sides suggest that this coin may have been a presentation piece. Delicate silver-gray iridescence overlays both sides, although the reflective fields shine forth with undiminished intensity. The needle sharp strike elicits every last design feature and is quite uncommon for a branch mint Barber half. Free of even the most trivial contact mark, the surfaces seem to be conservatively graded at the MS 66 level. Under a loupe, one can discern raised die polish lines about the OLL in DOLLAR. These features point to an early die state and lend further credence to the special circumstances under which this coin was probably struck. While NGC and PCGS combined report 8 examples in MS 66 with none finer (9/99), this coin's possible presentation status and awe-inspiring eye appeal suggest that it is probably the finest known 1912-S half dollar.
Ex: Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection (Bowers & Merena, 4/97), lot 2128, where it realized $16,500. (PCGS# 6526)

1912-S 50C MS65 PCGS. At first glance, the 1912-S may seem like a ho-hum Barber Half Dollar. The original mintage of 1.3 million pieces is not especially low for the series, and survivors are relatively available in grades up to an including the MS63 level of preservation. In the finer Mint State grades, however, the '12-S is a noteworthy rarity, and few examples match the technical quality of the present representative. The luster is thick, rich, and frosty in finish, and the strike is bold in most areas. The otherwise silver surfaces reveal blushes of pastel-gold iridescence in a few areas. Population: 12 in 65, 4 finer (2/04). (PCGS# 6526)

1912-S 50C MS65 PCGS. The 1912-S may seem like a common-date Barber half dollar. The original mintage of 1.3 million pieces is not low for the series, and survivors are relatively available in grades up to and including the MS63 level. In the finer Mint State grades, however, the '12-S is a noteworthy rarity, and few examples match the technical quality of the current example. The luster is satiny, and the strike is bold in most areas. The otherwise olive-gray surfaces reveal blushes of dappled light-purple patina on the obverse, while a small abrasion on the upper right portion of the eagle's shield is noted as the only possible distraction. Population: 12 in 65, 4 finer (8/03).

1912-S 50C MS65 PCGS. The wispy honey-gold patina is lighter on the obverse than the reverse. Pleasing mint luster rolls across the well preserved surfaces. The reverse is essentially pristine, as is the obverse field. Sharply struck aside from star 3. A rare issue in all Mint State grades, and even more desirable as a Gem.
