1910 Barber Half, MS66+
One of the Finest Known

1910 50C MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor. This Premium Gem is sharply struck from perfect obverse and reverse dies showing no evidence of cracks or clash marks. Most design detail is full, although the claws are weak as usual. Both sides display fully brilliant and highly lustrous silver surfaces. A small splash of deep russet and steel toning appears on Liberty's neck.

Population Data (5/14): PCGS shows five MS66 and this one MS66+ as the sole finest. NGC reports a lone MS66 and none finer. This piece is also, by default, finest with the CAC green approval sticker.

Heritage Commentary: The 1910 Barber half dollar, having a mintage of only 418,000 coins, is the fifth scarcest P-mint emission in the series behind the unheralded 1912 and the widely recognized 1913, 1914, and 1915 issues.

Provenance: Legend Numismatics (11/2003); Dr. and Mrs. Steven L. Duckor Barber Half Dollar Collection / Boston Signature (Heritage, 8/2010), lot 3230; purchased from Joseph O'Connor (10/2010).(Registry values: N2998)
