1911-S Barber Half Dollar, MS66
Virtually Impossible to Upgrade

1911-S 50C MS66 PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Shireman / Emery / Nichols. David Lawrence writes of the 1911-S in his Complete Guide to Barber Halves: "Available in lower circulated grades, but surprisingly tough AU55 through MS. Much scarcer than the 1911-D in these grades." To be sure, the issue is extremely rare in MS66 and virtually unobtainable any finer. Warm, light gold color graces radiantly lustrous surfaces, and the design features are well-struck. Carefully preserved throughout. An inoffensive small mark on the cap beneath star 6 is mentioned solely for pedigree purposes. This piece displays great aesthetic and technical quality. Population: 6 in 66 (1 in 66+), 1 finer (11/15).
