Description
1908-D Half Dollar, MS68
The Only Example So Fine
1908-D 50C MS68 NGC. CAC. The 1908-D is certainly not a
scarce issue in lower grades, as 3.28 million pieces were struck.
Even at the Gem level it is relatively available, with a couple of
dozen pieces so-certified. Nonetheless, this issue is an extreme
rarity in Superb Gem condition, and this piece ranks as the sole
finest (9/15). The bright, satiny surfaces are almost perfectly
preserved, and the fields display a semiprooflike glow that adds
considerable brightness to the multiple layers of toning on each
side. Lavender and sea-green colors are dominant with varying
amounts on each side, and several other colors intermingle as well
around the obverse periphery. The surfaces are sharply struck
throughout.Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 4250; Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part II (Heritage, 10/2014), lot 98561.
