Description
Lovely 1910-S Barber Half, MS67
Only One Finer PCGS Specimen
1910-S 50C MS67 PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor/Pryor. A
stunning Superb Gem with a die crack at the bust tip that is
extremely faint across the bust truncation to the back of the neck
and star 1. Other faint cracks are visible on the back part of the
cap. The reverse is perfect, with a mintmark that is centered below
the eagle's tail and about midway between the tail and the D of
DOLLAR. Both sides have frosty silver luster beneath delicate gold
toning, with deeper heather on the obverse.Several of James Bennett Pryor's Barber half dollars were purchased from Joel Rettew on February 19, 1976. Rettew apparently purchased a collection of these coins, and Pryor had an early choice on coins that he wanted for his own collection. All 13 of the Rettew coins in the Pryor Collection sale had similar light gold and iridescent toning.
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. Population (6/10): MS66 (13); MS66+ (0); MS67 (3); MS67+ (0); MS68 (1).
Ex: Joel Rettew (2/1976); James Bennett Pryor (Bowers and Merena, 1/1996), lot 313.
