Lustrous 1907-D Half Dollar, MS67+
Only One Certified at PCGS

1907-D 50C MS67+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor. This piece has the often-seen die crack at the bust tip, with otherwise perfect obverse and reverse dies. The mintmark is about centered below and close to the eagle's tail. Slight weakness at the right wing and shield is all that separates this Superb Gem from a full strike. Both sides have satiny underlying luster, with amazing multicolored toning.
All three of the MS67 PCGS coins have appeared in our auctions since 2005. The Duckor MS67+ appeared in our January 2009 sale of the Friend Collection. The Eliasberg coin appeared in our January 2005 sale of the Hugon Collection, and the third MS67 example appeared in our January 2010 sale.
The Denver Mint had its beginning in the 1860s, initially serving the gold mining community under its former name of Clark, Gruber and Co. That firm issued four denominations of private gold coinage in 1860 and 1861. With mining interests expanding at the time and with the Civil War in full swing, the government acquired assets of the firm and established a mint with full authorization to strike coins. However, for various reasons, the Denver Mint waited 44 years to strike its first coins. Operations began in 1906 with $27 million struck and continued with $34.5 million minted in 1907. Population (6/10): MS66 (8); MS66+ (1); MS67 (2); MS67+ (1).
