1909 Barber Half Dollar
Certified CAM Percentage: 19%
Certified DCAM Percentage: 0.3%
An often overlooked issue in the Proof Barber half dollar series, the 1909 has a mintage of 650 coins and is not all that challenging to locate in grades up to and including Proof-64. Any finer and the conditionally challenging nature of this issue comes readily to the fore.
The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the June 2012 Baltimore Auction, where it realized $14,100.
