Top-Notch 1910-S Barber Half, MS66
Only Five Finer at PCGS

1910-S 50C MS66 PCGS. CAC. While we were cataloging the Duckor Collection of Barber halves, we made this observation:

"The 1910 San Francisco Mint half dollar, while challenging in grades above MS65, is far more plentiful than its Philadelphia Mint counterpart. In fact, the 1910-S has a greater PCGS population in MS66 and higher than any other S-mint issue of the series. It is ideal for a San Francisco Mint type collection or a high-grade set."


The present piece certainly bears out that assertion. Fabulous, swirling mint frost liberally coats each side, and the surfaces are brilliant except for a thin ring of reddish patina at the margin. The strike is sharp throughout, except on top of the eagle's right (facing) wing. Population: 12 in 66, 5 finer (11/11).(Registry values: N4719)
