详细说明

1910 Barber Half Dollar. MS-65 (NGC). CAC. Lovely frosty-white surfaces are fully lustrous with a sharply executed strike. The year 1910 begins an era of reduced demand for new circulation strike half dollar coinage that would continue through the end of the Barber series in 1915. With the sole exception of the 1912-D, all issues from these years have a mintage of fewer than 2 million coins, and many are far fewer than 1 million. Additionally, the Denver Mint was not called upon to strike half dollars at all in 1910 or 1914. (The New Orleans Mint had ceased coinage operations the preceding year.) In 1910 the Philadelphia Mint produced only 418,000 circulation strikes of this denomination, the fifth lowest mintage for the type. Readily obtainable in lower Mint State grades, nonetheless, the 1910 is scarce as a Gem with demand particularly strong for such coins among advanced collectors. Provenance: From our sale of the Larry H. Miller Collection, December 2020 Auction, lot 1426. NGC Census: 8; with a single MS-66 finer at this service. PCGS# 6519. NGC ID: 24NB.
