Description
1908-D Half Eagle, MS64
Few Known Finer
1908-D $5 MS64 NGC. The Denver Mint struck only 148,000
Indian half eagles in 1908, and this issue is much scarcer in high
grade than its well-saved Philadelphia counterpart. The current
Choice example is in a plentiful grade, but NGC reports merely
seven submissions numerically finer (8/25). Satiny mint luster
yields warm wheat-gold hues and complements a sharp strike, while
minor abrasions in the fields are all that deny Gem classification.
This is a pleasing coin for the grade compared to many others we
have seen.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28DF, PCGS# 8511, Greysheet# 9317)
