Description
Resplendent 1911 Half Dollar, MS66
None Finer at PCGS
1911 50C MS66 PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor/Price. The
obverse has a faint die crack from the bust tip to star 13.
Otherwise, both dies are perfect, with no defects. The strike is
solid, although slightly shy of full. Both sides are highly
lustrous, with satiny mint brilliance shining through incredible
orange-gold, violet, and iridescent toning with evidence of
silver-white. A few dark spots attest to the originality of this
Premium Gem. A couple of field nicks near the chin are the only
consequential marks on this gorgeous half dollar.The Price-Duckor specimen is the seventh different MS66 PCGS coin that we have handled, from the total population of just nine pieces. In addition to this coin, two others appear on the Set Registry, one at PCGS and the other at NGC. David Akers wrote in the Price catalog: "This is not a rare issue at all, but rather a fairly common one in all mint state grades, including Gem condition, something that cannot be said for very many Barber Half Dollar issues." Given its availability in MS66, the 1911 is a candidate for a high-grade type collection of U.S. coins. Of course the Barber half dollar specialist will also be interested in the Duckor specimen, tied for the finest at PCGS. Clearly the connoisseur's choice. Population (6/10): MS66 (9).
