Description
Attractive 1909 Half Dollar, MS66+
One of Two Finest at PCGS
1909 50C MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor/Akers. Like so
many others, the obverse has a short die crack at the bust tip with
a continuation across the truncation. Otherwise both dies are
perfect, without cracks, clash marks, or any other problems,
although some apparently Mint-made defects are evident within the
vertical shield stripes. A few other tiny marks are evident on each
side. The surfaces are highly lustrous, with mostly light silver
brilliance and accents of pale gold toning.The Duckor specimen is from the November 1994 Bowers and Merena sale, where it was described as: "Well struck for the issue, sharp in all areas of the design. Frosty, satiny surfaces display strong cartwheel luster and a hint of champagne toning. A most satisfactory gem."
Among P-mint Barber half dollars, the 1909 is one of the more plentiful issues, even in Gem or Premium Gem grades. This example is the seventh different MS66 to appear in our auctions since 1993. While many old-time collections had a proof 1909 half dollar, the modern collecting emphasis is on Mint State coins, or better yet, both. A study of our auction archives and other sources indicates that about 10 to 12 MS66 examples of the 1909 Barber half dollar exist today, including coins at PCGS and NGC. Population (6/10): MS66 (8); MS66+ (2).
Ex: Bowers and Merena (11/1994), lot 2262; David Akers (11/7/1995).

Auction Info
Buyer's Premium per Lot:
15% of the successful bid (minimum $14) per lot.
The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.
