Lot 440
1907-D Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-68. Rings of bright blue iridescence surround champagne toned centers. Extremely well struck and almost perfectly preserved. A remarkable coin for the collector who wants only the finest quality. Pedigreed to the John Jay Pittman collection, one of the most celebrated and valuable collections of coins ever assembled. This is the finest example graded by NGC (interestingly enough, the NGC Census reports two coins at this level, both from the Eliasberg collection)! Accompanied by a PCGS tag indicating the Pittman provenance and a grade of MS-68 (it seems that at least one owner of this coin was seeking an MS-69 grade).
Estimated Value $10,000 - 15,000.
