Old Man Duffy’s rare pair of 1896 and 1897 San Francisco Mint Barber half dollar coins, a must-have for any serious coin collector. These coins were minted in San Francisco, United States, and have a denomination of 50 cents. The coins are composed of 0.9 fineness silver and have an average circulated grade. Trends on this scarcity start at 100. We’ll start at only 69 The most interesting feature of the 1897 coin is the counterstamp "9 7" on the reverse side, which adds to the rarity and value. This one is an astounding conversation item. These coins are uncertified and come with a KM number of 116. Don't miss out on the chance to own a piece of history with this amazing Barber coinage- Old man Duffy used to work out at the Flatbush "Y". He always yelled at the boyz for grabbing all the weights but was kind spirited and constantly joking and making everyone laugh. Until his final hospitalization and unfortunate demise in 1976, he was in that gym every single day. I was fortunate enough to be his buddy, no one really knew his birth name, but I found out it was Senan, meaning "old & wise". His namesake was an ancient founder of monasteries. People complained that he never spent any coin he ever received. It was postulated that he only spent paper money and always put the change aside. In any case, after he left us, his grandchildren found some of his stash in the attic and spent a good amount on candy and toys. The family was in an uproar! They consigned most of it to auctioneers. By the time I got to the collection there was about 10% left. I acquired and cared for remnants of this hoard for almost 50 years. Slowly I have been moving some of these unique items and people are very inspired and glad to be part of the £egacy!
