1912-D Barber Half, MS66
Seldom Seen This Nice

1912-D 50C MS66 PCGS. Shimmering mint luster illuminates a thin veil of golden toning on each side of this Premium Gem 1912-D half. The eagle's right (facing) talons and shoulder are a smidgen weak, as can be expected for this branch mint issue, but the stars and Liberty's hair curls are sharp. A few faint luster grazes on Liberty's cheek and the adjacent field are all that preclude an even finer grade.

Population Data (4/15): The finest certified are 16 MS66 (one MS66+) at PCGS and nine MS66 (one MS66+) at NGC.

Heritage Commentary: The 1912-D Barber half, with a mintage of more than 2.3 million coins, is a recognized common date in the series. Examples are readily obtainable in just about any grade desired up through Gem Uncirculated. In MS66, however, this issue joins its peers as a notable condition rarity.
