Description
1911-S Barber Half Dollar, MS66
Only One Finer at PCGS
1911-S 50C MS66 PCGS. CAC. The well-preserved surfaces of
this impressive Premium Gem display delicate shades of
champagne-gold and lavender patina, with vibrant mint luster and no
mentionable flaws. The design elements are sharply detailed
throughout, and the eye appeal is quite strong.Population Data (7/14): PCGS shows six MS66, including the present specimen, with a single MS67 example finer. NGC reports one each in MS66 and MS67. This Premium Gem is one of three to obtain the CAC green approval sticker.
Heritage Commentary: The 1911-S Barber half dollar is surprisingly difficult to locate in Mint State, despite its nominal mintage of nearly 1.3 million pieces. Few examples were saved by contemporary collectors and the issue is still underrated today, outside of series specialists. Of all the coins submitted to PCGS and NGC for grading, only two have been certified finer.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24NF, PCGS# 6523, Greysheet# 6619)
