1912-D Half Dollar, MS66
Among the Finest Certified

1912-D 50C MS66 PCGS. CAC. This lustrous high-grade Barber type coin in Premium Gem grade displays vibrant luster and dappled orange-gold, forest-green, and stone-gray toning. The cheekbone shows a few light russet freckles, and the surfaces are pristine, aside for a single wispy graze on Liberty's neck.

Population Data (9/15): PCGS shows 16 MS66 submissions (one in MS66+) tied atop the Population Report. Similarly, NGC has seen nine Premium Gems (one MS66+) and none finer. CAC reports 11 in this grade with the green approval.

Heritage Commentary: The 1912-D (2.3 million coins struck) is known as a common issue in lesser grades. However, examples are rarely found at this lofty level, and three decades after the introduction of the major third party certification services, MS66+ remains the highest grade awarded.
