Description

Pleasing 1910-D Half Eagle, MS63+

1910-D $5 MS63+ PCGS. CAC. Despite a low mintage of 193,600 coins, the 1910-D is relatively plentiful in lower Mint State grades, due to the 1979 discovery of a hoard of several hundred coins. However, higher-grade coins were absent from that hoard. The PCGS population data clearly tells the story, with 634 pieces graded MS60 to MS63, this single MS63+ borderline coin, and just 37 finer pieces. The average grade of all 885 PCGS certified 1910-D half eagles is just MS60. The MS63+ from the O'Neal Collection will appeal to provenance collectors who seek a single example from this collection.
This piece is pleasingly detailed, with softly lustrous wheat-gold surfaces that show occasional orange accents near the rims. The obverse is carefully preserved for the grade assigned, although a handful of abrasions are present in the reverse fields. Population: 1 in 63+, 37 finer (11/10).
