Description
Phenomenal 1913-D Barber Half, MS66
One of Three Finest at PCGS
1913-D 50C MS66 PCGS Secure. Ex: Duckor/Akers. There are no
die cracks or defects on either side of this beautiful half dollar.
The mintmark is well below the eagle's tail and closer to the D in
DOLLAR. The sharp strike and full mint brilliance provide a high
degree of aesthetic desirability. The surfaces exhibit faint
silver-gray toning with a few freckles of darker iridescence.The Denver Mint coined 534,000 half dollars in 1913, the seventh-lowest mintage in the entire Barber series. Overshadowed by the lower-mintage 1913 and the higher-mintage 1913-S, this Denver issue is the poor stepchild of the date. Clearly, the 1913-D fails to garner respect as a condition rarity due to its availability in lower Mint State grades. The scenario is similar to many other Barber half dollar issues. However, the connoisseur who seeks top-grade coins must give this issue great respect.
The three MS66 PCGS examples of this important issue include the Duckor specimen and the Eliasberg-Friend coin that we sold in January 2009. In addition to those three coins, NGC has certified four pieces in MS66. Neither service has graded a finer example, emphasizing the importance of the present opportunity. This beautiful Premium Gem is destined for a remarkable date or type collection. Population (6/10): MS66 (3).
Ex: David Akers (6/15/1992).
