MS66 1913-D Half Dollar
Tied for Finest at PCGS

1913-D 50C MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1913-D Barber half dollar is one of the lowest-mintage issues in the series at only 534,000 pieces, and examples in Gem or finer condition are rare -- especially the Premium Gem condition of the present example, which ties it for the finest graded with four other pieces or submissions at PCGS (9/12). Bright mint frost appears on both sides, with the top obverse brilliant, the lower half light golden-brown. The reverse is fully brilliant, save for at the rim between 3 and 4 o'clock. The strike is somewhat soft over the forehead and at the usual areas on the reverse, and the surfaces are remarkably clean overall, with few distractions of any sort. The Akers-Duckor example in the same grade brought $9,775 in our Boston ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2010), lot 3239, while the Eliasberg-Friend MS66 PCGS coin brought $14,375 (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 2965.(Registry values: N4719)
