1911-D Barber Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.A delightful Premium Gem Barber Half, the truly spectacular mint luster alone is reason enough to bid. Its full glory unable to be transmitted through photograph, the silken curls and bends would impress any collector who took the time to view it in person. Blast white surfaces notwithstanding, some peripheral touches of russet are noted on the obverse. The strike is full and marks are difficult to spot, even with scrutiny. Barber halves from this date and mintmark are rather scarce in Mint State and grow exponentially more rare in grades of Gem Uncirculated and higher.Ex A.J. Vanderbilt Collection; our (Stacks) sale of January 1988, lot 1112.
