The 1912-S Half Dollar has a split-personality. It is scarce as far as Barber Halves go, but it also happens to be the most common S-Mint in Gem condition. A small number of MS66 examples seem to be sufficient to satisfy collector demand. MS67 examples are rare, with none certified by PCGS. This date boasts a strong strike and nice luster. Occasionally, a coin will be described in auction descriptions as "Prooflike", but these are rare exceptions.
