Description
Beautifully Toned MS67 1912-S Half Dollar
Tied for Finest Certified
1912-S 50C MS67 NGC. Only two 1912-S half dollars have
received a grade of MS67 from either of the major grading
services--the Hugon specimen, which we sold in our January 2005 FUN
Auction, and the present piece. The Hugon coin was described as
having semiprooflike surfaces, but that is not the case with this
coin, which is covered throughout in a pleasing iridescent satin
luster. Sharply struck, with a trace of weakness visible only on
the right (facing) wing and the shield opposite. As befits the
grade, the surfaces have minimal abrasions, none of which distract,
and few of which are visible without a loupe. This coin presents an
opportunity to acquire the finest possible example of this issue,
and as such should attract spirited bidding.(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24NJ, PCGS# 6526, Greysheet# 6621)
