Description
1898-S Half Dollar, MS66
Tied for the Finest Certified
1898-S 50C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Shireman. An unknown quantity
of the 2.3 million coin mintage was shipped to the Philippines at
the conclusion of the Spanish-American War, diminishing the
available population to collectors. Today, Gem or finer examples of
the 1898-S are extremely rare, and this impressive Premium Gem is
tied for the finest certified. Although weakness is evident as
usual at the junction of the right facing wing and the shield
border, the overall strength of design is far above average, with
bold claw and arrow-feather detail on the reverse. The frosty
surfaces are brilliant and fully lustrous beneath mottled gold and
champagne toning. Population: 4 in 66 (2 in 66+), 0 finer
(11/15).From The Dr. Peter and Janice Shireman Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24M5, PCGS# 6482, Greysheet# 6591)
