Description

1912-S Half Dollar, MS67
One of the Two Finest Certified

1912-S 50C MS67 NGC. This coin and the Eliasberg piece both show faint raised die finish lines through the bases of the OLL in DOLLAR. These lines are less prominent on this particular coin, but then the fields are not as obviously reflective as are those of the Eliasberg piece either, indicating that piece is a slightly later strike but still from the same die pair that produced the Eliasberg coin. From a technical and aesthetic viewpoint, this piece is superior to the Eliasberg coin as that piece graded "only" MS66 PCGS. The brilliant surfaces of this example, certified MS67, give the viewer an unrestricted view of the flashy, semiprooflike fields and equally bright, satiny devices. Fully struck on the obverse, there is only the slightest softness evident on the reverse in the usual places: the eagle's right (facing) talons and shoulder. NGC shows one other example in MS67, while the finest at PCGS are eight MS66 coins (6/15).
