Description

George V 50 Cents 1917, KM25, MS66 PCGS. The 1917 is surprisingly elusive in high Mint State grades, despite its mintage of 752,213 pieces. The Norweb piece (Bowers and Merena, 11/1996, lot 416) was only graded MS64 by PCGS, and the catalog noted that the 1917 is "seldom seen in grades even approaching this." PCGS has certified only four MS66 examples, with none finer (7/09). Splendid orange-gold patina encircles the pale gray centers of this lustrous Premium Gem. The strike is nearly full. A few faint abrasions do not affect the impressive eye appeal.
