Spectacular 1915-D Half, MS66+
The Only PCGS Example

1915-D 50C MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor/Price-Norweb. The obverse has the bust tip die crack along with a faint crack at star 5 and another at the tops of GOD. The reverse has a faint crack at S OF. The strike is weak at the right wing and claw, but still well above average. The mintmark is right of center and about midway between the eagle's tail and the D in DOLLAR.
This impressive piece has a wonderful provenance from the Norweb and Price collections, along with the current pedigree to the Duckor Collection. Imagine your name associated with such numismatic luminaries when you successfully acquire this Premium Gem. David Akers wrote about this piece: "When eye appeal and overall appearance are considered along with technical quality (lack of marks, etc.), it is apparent that Gems of the caliber of this piece are quite rare and very desirable."
In all of our past auctions, we have offered just 10 MS66 or finer 1915-D Barber half dollar, including those certified by PCGS and NGC. The single MS67 NGC coin appeared in April and August 2001 and has remained off the market since that time, to the best of our knowledge. This single MS66+ coin is the second-finest example and will likely also become part of a long-term collection. Population (6/10): MS66 (12); MS66+ (1).
Ex: Norweb Collection (Bowers and Merena, 11/1988), lot 3665; Dr. Thaine B. Price (David Akers, 5/1998), lot 195.
